Fiery Mac & Cheese


Yummy, delicious and a little bit of heat makes this the perfect side dish to a big juicy steak!  This delicious recipie is easy to make and tastes like you spent hours working on it.

What You Need:
1 2/3 cups elbow noodles (cooked and drained)
4-5 seeded and diced jalapenos (I've also used 1-3 habaneros depending on the heat)
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 can Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 cup water
2 Tbsp butter
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese


Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 2 quart casserole dish.

In a small saute pan, add canola oil and diced jalapenos.  Saute until soft and set aside.  


In a large pot, mix the cornstarch, salt, dry mustard, and pepper.  Whisk in the evaporated milk, water and butter.  

Cook, stiring consantly until the mixture comes to a boil for one minute.  Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese and the sauted jalapenos.  


Stir in the cooked noodles and pour into the greased casserole dish.  

Top with remaining shredded cheese and a few jalapenos for decorations.


Bake for 20-30 minutes and enjoy!  The leftovers heat up really well the next day too!
