Jalapeño Popper Mac and Cheese



Prep Time: 5mn
Cook Time: 25mn
Total Time: 30mn

INGREDIENTS

  • 2-3 jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces dried pasta (I use gluten-free penne)
  • 8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil


DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large skillet, saute peppers and onions with garlic powder and salt. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in cream cheese and mix until it is melted. Add in the milk, water, and dry pasta.
  3. Bring to a boil and simmer on medium 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until pasta is cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, combine cracker crumbs and oil in a small bowl and mix until all the crumbs are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°
  6. Once pasta is cooked, add cheese and stir in to melt. If using an oven safe pan, top with crumbs and place in oven for 5-10 minutes to brown. Or, pour pasta into a 9×9 pan and top with crumbs and bake for 5-10 minutes.
