Not Your Everyday Mac & Cheese–WOW!

Bring a creative, savory pasta dish to your dinner table in only 35 minutes with this Chipotle Bacon Mac & Cheese recipe. Bacon just makes everything taste better, and sharp cheddar and a panko bread crumb topping bring everything together rather nicely.

No, there’s nothing ordinary about this mac & cheese recipe. Not that there is anything wrong with ordinary or basic mac & cheese; the homemade version is truly delicious. But particularly when I am looking for something quick to make for a full dinner, I enjoy combining a few basic things to make a filling and satisfying main dish. This recipe does just that. Call it macaroni and cheese that has been upgraded from side dish to delicious and savory main course.

This Chipotle Chicken Nacho Casserole is loaded with savory Tex-Mex flavor. Do the fairly straightforward prep in advance, and you can have this filling, savory dish cooked in about twenty minutes – quick enough for an easy lunch or hectic weeknight meal. I have to hand it to Rachel Ray; she really knows how to throw down in the kitchen! I love the idea of turning that colorful Mexican-inspired cuisine into an easy casserole. With recipes like this, there’s no need for the middle of the week to turn into a “food dead zone.”

If you are concerned about the spiciness of this recipe, just go light on the extra jalapeños or leave them out entirely. There is plenty enough other seasoning here to do without the additional heat if you are more the type that puts up with the spicy heat than enjoys it. Cooking the chipotle in olive oil with the herbs and other spices for a few minutes before baking it softens its heat, as well. And the cheese blend draws all of the flavors together rather nicely. As-is, the recipe serves four people.
