Many years ago after I had had knee surgery, a friend brought me a big casserole of mac and cheese along with the recipe. I have fiddled with the recipe over the years, most recently adding jalapenos at the request of my son. What an awesome spicy twist! -Teresa Gustafson, Elkton, Maryland

JALAPEñO MACARONI AND CHEESE



Jalapeño Macaroni and Cheese image

This is a version of Jimmy Buffet's Macaroni that they serve at Margaritaville. Made this last night along with bbq ribs. Was a big hit. I made it as the recipe states as this was my first try. I think I will cut down the juice and up the cajun seasoning next time. It is a good and spicy macaroni and cheese. So if your looking for traditional, this is not it. If your looking for a macaroni and cheese to spice up dinner try it!

JALAPENO-CHEDDAR ROLLS



Jalapeno-Cheddar Rolls image

Sharp cheddar cheese and piquant jalapeno stud these soft, fluffy dinner rolls. Martha made this recipe on episode 606 of Martha Bakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for bowls, tins, and brushing
1 cup seeded, diced jalapeno chiles (about 4)
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus more for work surface
1 cup warm whole milk (110 degrees)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups finely grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
Flaky salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeno and 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, and cook, stirring, until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool to room temperature.
  • Sprinkle yeast and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar over warm water in a small bowl, and whisk to combine. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In bowl of standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, whisk together 3 1/4 cups flour and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt. With mixer on low speed, add yeast mixture, warm milk, and egg. Increase speed to medium and mix until dough comes together, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. If dough does not come together, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time and up to 1/4 cup.
  • Continue kneading dough on medium speed for 10 minutes. Knead in 4 tablespoons butter until incorporated and dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. (Dough may come apart before coming back together.) Add cooled jalapeno, and knead until just combined.
  • Meanwhile, butter a large bowl. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a ball. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl, turning dough to coat. Cover lightly with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray and let stand at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes. Place dough, topside down, on a lightly floured work surface to deflate. Shape into a ball and return to same bowl, repeating the covering and rising process until again doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, butter two 6-cup jumbo muffin tins. Place dough, topside down, on a lightly floured work surface to deflate. Pat dough into a 7-inch square. Fold bottom edge two thirds of the way up, and fold again so that the top edge meets the bottom edge as you would a business letter. Cut the dough in half crosswise with a bench scraper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 7-by-13-inch rectangle, arranging long side parallel to edge of work surface. Using an offset spatula, spread 2 tablespoons butter evenly on top. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and press to adhere.
  • Cut dough into 6 lengthwise strips. Stack three strips on top of each other, cheese side up, for two stacks. Cut stacks crosswise into thirds. Transfer each stack to prepared cups, cut edges up and shaping to fit.
  • Cover tins with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Let stand in a warm place until dough just reaches the edge of the muffin cups, and when gently pressed with a fingertip, an indentation should remain, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees (or 400 degrees for a convection oven) with rack positioned in center. Remove plastic wrap and transfer tins to oven. Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 190 degrees when inserted in center of a roll, about 15 minutes; if browning too quickly, tent with foil.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly; turn out rolls. Brush tops with butter, sprinkle with flaky salt, if using, and let cool slightly more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of macaroni. Elbow macaroni is the classic choice for mac and cheese, but you can also use other shapes like shells, penne, or rotini.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that the macaroni should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will make your mac and cheese mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your mac and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or try a combination of different cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Add some spice. A little bit of spice can help to balance out the richness of the cheese. Cayenne pepper, paprika, or chipotle powder are all good options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making mac and cheese. Try adding different ingredients like bacon, broccoli, or jalapeños. You can also change up the cheese sauce by using different types of milk or cream.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like it simple or spicy, cheesy or creamy, there's a mac and cheese recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give mac and cheese a try. You won't be disappointed.
