  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until the sauce thickens. Stir in the five cheese blend until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked macaroni, crab meat, diced tomatoes, roasted corn, and crumbled jalapeno-smoked bacon to the cheese sauce. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the macaroni mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with additional cheese if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
