Super Creamy and Cheesy Tex-Mex Macaroni and Cheese πŸ§€πŸŒΆοΈ

Recipe Details:

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 2 minutes (broiling time)
  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Servings: 8
  • Calories per Serving: 463

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
16 Jumbo pasta shells
1 Butter
2 Eggs
2 Evaporated milk
1 Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
1/4 teaspoon White pepper
3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta:

    • Begin by cooking the jumbo pasta shells according to the package directions. Make sure to use salted water for added flavor. Once cooked, drain the pasta and return the shells to the pot.
  2. Add Butter:

    • Stir in the butter to the cooked pasta, covering it completely. Set this aside for now.
  3. Preheat the Broiler:

    • Position your broiler rack so that when the macaroni and cheese is placed in its baking dish, it will be 4-6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the broiler while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  4. Prepare the Creamy Mixture:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, chili powder, and white pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth mixture.
  5. Combine Pasta and Creamy Mixture:

    • Place the pot with the cooked pasta over low heat. Pour in the milk mixture and add 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together gently but thoroughly.
  6. Cook the Macaroni and Cheese:

    • Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously. You’ll start to see a creamy sauce forming as the cheese melts and everything combines. This should take about 5 minutes or until the mixture is hot and creamy.
  7. Assemble and Broil:

    • Pour the creamy macaroni and cheese mixture into an ungreased 6-cup baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
    • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture. This extra cheese will create a deliciously cheesy crust.
    • Place the baking dish under the preheated broiler. Broil the macaroni and cheese until it is lightly browned on top and bubbly. This should take about 2-3 minutes, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  8. Serve Hot:

    • Once the macaroni and cheese is beautifully browned and bubbling, carefully remove it from the broiler. Be cautious as the dish will be hot!
    • Serve the Super Creamy and Cheesy Tex-Mex Macaroni and Cheese hot, straight from the oven. It’s best enjoyed fresh and piping hot!

🌟 Tips:

  • Customize Your Cheesy Goodness: Feel free to add some diced jalapeΓ±os or green chilies for an extra kick of Tex-Mex flavor.
  • Topping Ideas: Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, or a dollop of sour cream for a delightful finish.
  • Make it Ahead: This dish can be assembled ahead of time, covered, and stored in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply broil until golden and bubbly.
