Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Meat Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Blackened Chicken

    If not already done, season chicken breasts with blackening seasoning and cook in a skillet until charred and cooked through. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Roast the Jalapeno

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapenos in half, remove seeds if desired, and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until charred. Remove, chop, and set aside.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.

  2. 6

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Incorporate Cheeses

    Reduce heat to low, and add the cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses. Stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Combine and Serve
