• Grease a casserole dish and layer bottom of pan with half of the cooked macaroni.
• Gently pour half the mixture over noodles.

ROCK & ROLL BBQ JALAPENO DUST

Steps:

• Preheat your over to 200 degrees.
• Remove stems from Jalapenos by slicing off the ends.
• Slice Jalapenos lengthwise.
• Cover a cookie sheet with cheese cloth, parchment paper, or foil. You can use an outdoor smoker or food dehydrator if you want.
• Place Jalapenos skin side down (not stacked) on the pan. Add the peeled Garlic cloves where there is room.
• Place in oven and bake until ALL juices have released. Everything should be hard and dried. The garlic will be brown and the Jalapenos will have shrunk drastically. This process can take 2-8 hours. The humidity of you area, oven, and house will effect this. Check every 1/2 hour after a couple hours!
• When it's all done remove the pan from the oven and let cool. You can now process the dried ingredients in a blender, food processor, or spice grinder. I use a food processor to condense the mixture. I powder the stuff from there with a coffee grinder. If you use a coffee grinder (the best way) make sure it's one that doesn't get used for coffee! You don't want your coffee to taste like spices and visa versa.
• Store in cool dry place and use liberally.

ROCK & ROLL BBQ SALSA LOCO (SIMILAR TO BAJA FRESH)

Steps:

• Heat your grill to medium high.
• Remove stems from tomatoes. Cut them in half lengthwise.
• Cut onions into thirds. Cut against the onion's grain to make three patty like pieces.
• Use some foil to make a pouch. Add garlic and 1 tbsp of oil. Fold up the foil and make a good seal.
• Put Tomato halves on grill skin side down. Grill for 30 minutes or until skin is black. DON'T WORRY, they aren't burnt.
• After 30 minutes push the tomatoes to the side and flip them. Don't worry if they are losing juice -- it will be OK. Put jalapeños directly above flames and add your foil pouch to the grill as well. As jalapeno skins blacken and blister turn them to roast the whole pepper. This will take 10-15 minutes.
• Place everything in a bowl and head back to your kitchen. Add everything to a blender or food processor EXCEPT 1/2 of the water, 1/3 of the onion, and the cilantro! Blend away! Continue to add water until you reach desired consistency. Some people may add more than a cup of water to get a thinner consistency (like Baja Fresh).
• Chop remaining onion into small pieces. Add onions and cilantro to a large bowl. Mix in the ingredients from the blender and mix well. Chill for 2 hours before serving. Great with tortilla chips or on seafood or fish tacos. Throw a lime wedge in the bowl for a good presentation.

SMOKY REFRIED BEANS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add whole garlic cloves and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
• Smash garlic cloves with a fork just enough to break them open and flatten them a little.
• Add pintos and liquid and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Add spices and salt to taste. Stir well.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and smash beans with a big fork. You don't have to smash every single bean. Leave some whole for texture.
• When mashed to your liking, squeeze the lime juice all over the beans and serve warm.
• These beans make a great taco filling or tostada topping. My husband likes them mixed with a little salsa and eaten as a dip.
