Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

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

2. Make the Cheese Sauce

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Cheese and Spices

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, roasted poblano peppers, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

4. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. Transfer to a greased baking dish.

5. Prepare Breadcrumb Topping

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the mac and cheese.

6. Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the mac and cheese for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve

Let the mac and cheese cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Nada's Mac N’ Cheese!
