How to Make Mexican Blend Mac and Cheese
Gather Your Ingredients
To start, you will need 1 pound of elbow macaroni, 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese blend, 1 can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
Cook the Macaroni
Begin by cooking the macaroni according to the package instructions. While the macaroni is cooking, you can prepare the cheese sauce.
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the flour and whisk until it forms a paste. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. This is your basic white sauce. Now, add in the shredded Mexican cheese blend and stir until it is fully melted and combined with the white sauce.
Add the Flavors
Once the cheese sauce is ready, add in the can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. This will give your mac and cheese a spicy kick and add some bursts of flavor. You can also add in some ground cumin and chili powder for an extra dose of Mexican flavor.
Combine and Bake
Drain the cooked macaroni and add it to the cheese sauce, stirring until all of the macaroni is coated in the delicious sauce. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top it with some additional shredded Mexican cheese blend. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve
Once the mac and cheese is done baking, sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro on top for a pop of freshness and color. Serve hot and enjoy your mouthwatering Mexican blend mac and cheese creation!
This recipe is a fantastic twist on the classic mac and cheese dish, combining the creaminess of cheese with the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine. It's perfect for a cozy night in or as a side dish for a Mexican-themed dinner. Give it a try and taste the delicious fusion of flavors for yourself!
