Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Meats

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and bacon. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the cheese sauce has thickened, remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Sriracha, cooked chorizo, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Mix with Pasta

    Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Slow Cook

    Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into a slow cooker. Cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until heated through and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once done, serve hot and enjoy your Mojo Mac & Cheese!
