Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually add the milk, whisking to combine. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheeses

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the white cheddar and gouda cheeses until melted and smooth. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix in the chopped green chile.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly on top.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your NM Mac & Cheese!
