Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese image

This is my favorite way to make mac n cheese, it's a little smokey & spicy. I like to add fresh chopped tomatoes on top right before serving if they're in season.

My kids loved this chipotle macaroni and cheese! They said it was the best mac and cheese they've ever had. I'm glad I found a recipe that they enjoy that also has some hidden vegetables in it.

For those who like their food spicy, I recommend adding an extra chipotle pepper or two to the recipe. It really amps up the heat and makes the dish even more flavorful.

I made this recipe using whole wheat pasta and low-fat milk and cheese to make it a healthier version. It turned out great! The chipotle peppers still provided plenty of flavor and the dish was still creamy and delicious.
