CHORIZO CHILE MAC 'N' CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the sauce: Add the beef chorizo to a 2-quart pan over medium heat. Once the chorizo starts to sizzle, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan, breaking the chorizo into smaller pieces, 3-5 minutes.
• Transfer half of the chorizo to a medium bowl and set aside.
• To the remaining chorizo, add the olive oil, red bell pepper, and jalapeño, and cook for 2 minutes, until softened. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the McCormick® Ground Cumin, McCormick® Ground Cinnamon, McCormick® Smoked Paprika, McCormick® Onion Powder, and flour. Cook for 2 minutes, until the chorizo is cooked through.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, add the heavy cream, and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream begins to simmer. Whisk in the cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses, 1 cup at a time, until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the salt, then cook for 2 minutes more until the sauce has thickened.
• Add in cooked pasta and stir to coat. Transfer to a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish and spread evenly.
• Make the panko crust: Add the panko bread crumbs and olive oil to the bowl with the reserved chorizo and mix well.
• Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the pasta, then evenly sprinkle the panko chorizo mixture on top.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
• Scoop the mac 'n' cheese into bowls and garnish with sliced jalapeño.
• Enjoy!

CHORIZO MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Mix the cornstarch with the 2 cheeses in a bowl: and set aside. The cornstarch will help prevent the cheese sauce from getting too stringy.
• Heat the milk: Put the milk into a small saucepan and heat until steamy. Keep warm while you are preparing the recipe, do not let boil.
• Cook the macaroni pasta: Put 2 quarts of water, salted with 1 Tbsp salt, into a large pot and heat to a boil. Once the water is at a full boil, add the macaroni to the pot. Return to a boil, and cook, uncovered, for about 2 minutes less than the macaroni package specifies, so that it is al dente, cooked, but still firm to the bite.
• Drain macaroni, preheat oven: When the macaroni is cooked, but still a bit firm, drain it and set aside. Preheat oven to 375°.
