Jalapeno Macaroni & Cheese Casserole

A nice creamy comfort dish. I like it best on a cold winter's night with a good tequila lime chicken dish, but I'm sure you could have it anytime and it would be just as tasty! You may want to add some salt to this recipe. I leave it out because my doc wants me to stay away from excess sodium.

This was pretty good. Not really as creamy as I would've liked. But that could be my fault as I added less flour. I will say, the flavor was still awesome. I did add a little salt.

    DH & I really enjoyed this. I halved the recipe easily, but used the full amount of cumin & cayenne. I used skim milk & whole-wheat macaroni. The flavor is good & spicy. The cheese/milk mixture was a little thick - I think i needed to use more milk to make it more creamy - and I didn't use as many breadcrumbs, but this was a delicious weeknight side to baked chicken nuggets, a salad & Roasted Green Beans. It came together really quickly too - I baked about 15 min.

    This was good I skipped adding the flour and used homemade bread crumbs also with a little burrito seasoning to keep it more mexican tasting. Thanks!

    Very good and hit the spot as far as comfort food goes, but definitely needs more seasoning as it was a little bland until I added a few things(salt, pepper, cayenne, etc). I used poblanos instead of jalapenos and whole wheat shells instead of elbows because that was what I had on hand. The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star recipe is the lack of seasoning, but otherwise a very solid macaroni and cheese dish. I'm reviewing this dish for PAC Fall '06.
