    Spicy Mac And Cheese W/ Jalapeno

    This recipe was a little out of my wheelhouse simple because I try to cook pretty healthy here in the Sailor Bailey household. Matt isn’t a picky eater whatsoever and he typically enjoys most everything I put in front of him. One of his favorite things to eat when we go out to eat or when I am out of town is Mac & Cheese.

     

    Matt is so picky about his Mac & Cheese so for him, it’s a treat when we end up at one of his favorite spots that happens to have what he likes. I decided I would treat him and challenge myself to creating a yummy homemade Mac & Cheese that was full of high quality dairy. I didn’t need to add overpriced rare cheeses to make it delicious, all I needed was organic Non GMO, heavy cream and some high quality organic cheddar cheese from Horizon® . I love to pick my Horizon products up at Sprouts grocery store, they carry the full line and it’s often times on sale.

     

     This recipe has a little kick to it with the fresh cut jalapeños, if you don’t like heat, I would suggest opting out of them. Enjoy! 

     Ingredients:

     

    ·     3 cups of Horizon Chedder Cheese 

    ·     ½ pound of elbow pasta

    ·     3 tbs butter 

    ·     1 tsp paprika (I like to be heavy handed here) 

    ·     1 tsp garlic powder 

    ·     3 tbs all purpose flour 

    ·     2 cups of Horizon heavy cream

    ·     dash of salt 

    ·     2 tbs diced onion 

    ·     1 chopped jalapeño 

     

    Directions:

    ·     Cook Elbow pasta according to package drain well

    ·     In a large skillet or pan over medium to low heat melt butter add flour until it is slightly brown

    ·     Slowly whisk in heavy cream and let it thicken for a few minutes 

    ·     Turn off heat and stir in all the cheese, once melted slowly add pasta onions and jalapeños

    ·     Option to add in broccoli I used 1 ½ C of chopped broccoli florets.
