This mac and cheese is a great way to use up leftover jalapeños. It's also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck.

This is the creamiest, cheesiest mac and cheese I've ever had. The jalapeños add a nice kick of heat, but they're not overpowering.

I'm not a big fan of jalapeños, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The jalapeños actually didn't make the mac and cheese spicy at all. They just added a really nice flavor.

This mac and cheese is easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeños.

This mac and cheese is a real winner! It's creamy, cheesy, and has just the right amount of heat from the jalapeños. I loved the crispy breadcrumb topping too. It added a nice textural contrast to the creamy pasta.
