Give Classic Baked Mac and Cheese a Spicy Upgrade!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mac and cheese is a favorite, but this creamy mac and cheese with jalape\u00f1o and corn is on a whole new level! So why jalape\u00f1o and corn? Well, I have a confession to make. For years, I’ve planted chilis and peppers in my garden each season, and year after year, I plant way more than we need. (My husband is the culprit – he always talks me into growing way more than the average family could ever<\/em> need, to be honest.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of those spicy peppers, I need a good way to use them up in recipes. This macaroni was the result of trying to use up our jalape\u00f1os. I added one large one to the recipe, which made it spicy enough for my taste. But of course, hubby added an extra pepper to his dish – so it’s definitely a matter of how hot you like your food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
