If you like macaroni and cheese but feel like it could use an update, then this is definitely your go-to recipe from now on. While jalapenos may not be on every kid’s wish list, I know some who would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or rice flour)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- salt to taste
- ¼ cup chopped pickled Jalapeno Peppers
- 1 pkg of Kraft Creamy Mexicana Shredded Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia
- 3 slices of bread, made into bread crumbs
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- pickled Jalapeno pepper slices for garnishing
Instructions:

- Stir in the dry mustard (and chopped Jalapeno peppers).
- Add the Kraft Creamy Mexicana Shredded Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia, stir constantly until the cheese has melted. Set aside.
