Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 ounces elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
4 slices canned jalapeno peppers, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
3 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until smooth and bubbling, about 1 minute. Mix milk, cream cheese, jalapeno peppers, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt into flour-butter mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix macaroni and Cheddar cheese into sauce; pour into a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Mix bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons butter, and parsley together in a bowl; spread over macaroni and cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

The macaroni was overcooked. It was mushy and didn't hold its shape.

The cheese sauce was too thick. I had to add more milk to thin it out.
