Directions Green Mac and Cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place Anaheim peppers in a blender and blend, adding olive oil as needed to create a smooth paste.
Heat cream in a pot over medium heat, stir in butter. Add Anaheim pepper paste, pepper Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Mexican cheese blend, cook, stirring constantly, until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
Stir cheese sauce into elbow macaroni, transfer to a casserole dish and top with crushed crackers.
Bake in the preheated oven until topping is browned and cheese is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
