This macaroni and cheese was not as spicy as I was expecting, but then again chipotles in adobo sauce tend to not be as spicy as a jalapeño. It did have a nice smokey flavor to it, which we all enjoyed.
Bacon Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients:
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 4 cups elbow noodles
- 5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Dice the bacon and then cook in a large pot, over medium high heat, until crispy. Drain all of the fat from the pot and remove half of the bacon and save.
- To the pot add in the elbow noodles and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, over medium heat, and cook until noodles are al dente, stirring often, about 10 -15 minutes.
- Add in chipotle peppers, cheese and reserved bacon, stirring until well mixed and cheese is melted.
