Poblano Mac and Cheese
This is a traditional Mexican dish served during our Christmas holidays. I highly encourage people to try this even if you don’t eat spicy food.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring the cold water to a boil and add the macaroni noodles, as well as a pinch of salt.
- 2
While that is cooking you can grill the peppers or cook them on a pan with olive oil until they are burned (we will peel the skin later)
I used olive oil to fry them and used a lid to trap the heat inside.
- 3
Once they are cooked, take them out to cool off and when cold enough, carefully peel the skin off, take the seeds out, and devein them (the veins are the long middle parts inside the pepper that feel sticky). Basically, you just want the skinless green parts of the pepper.
This is the most complicated step. If you manage to pull this off, the rest is smooth sailing!

Note: do NOT use your bare hands! You may experience burning and itching, which is annoying. It is recommended using latex gloves or peeling them from a plastic bag (I do the latter).
- 5
Blend the peppers with the sour cream, onion, and garlic. It should have a runny consistency.
- 6
On a pot or pan, add the butter and let it melt, then add the sauce from the previous step; Feel free to add salt as well(I like to add a tbsp here). Mix well for a few minutes.
- 7
Once the pasta is cooked (about 6-8mins after adding it) drain it and add it to the pot/pan. Stir well so that all the pasta is coated by the sauce.
- 8
Put the whole thing into an oven friendly container, preferably a long one so you can spread out the mix. Cover the top with as much Parmesan cheese as you want.
- 9
Cook the Mac and cheese in a 400F (200C) oven for 15 mins, then take it out and wait for it to cool off. Notice how the cheese looks golden brown and gives the rest of the dish a nice touch.
- 10
Wait for it to cool off and enjoy! This dish surprised me for how flavorful it is without it being very spicy at all!

Tex-Mex Mac & Cheese Tex-Mex Mac & Cheese
My family loves mac & cheese. One day I was making Tex-Mex Chicken and had made mac & cheese to go with it but wanted it to follow the Tex-Mex dinner theme I was going with so I found some Taco Bell Taco Sauce packets in the fridge and threw them in to the macaroni and it came out great. If you want to just change up your regular old mac & cheese, this will be the one for you.

Chorizo Mac n Cheese Chorizo Mac n Cheese
I love the spicy, smoky flavor of Chorizo and EVERYONE loves the world's favorite comfort food. I made a version of this recipe last Thanksgiving, and it was a hit, but I was unsatisfied because I felt that the roux takes away from the savory flavors of the cheeses added. Hence, some research revealed to me the magic of Sodium Citrate, which makes a roux unnecessary and results in a super cheesy flavor. If Chorizo is not your thing, you can add whatever you like, to this delicious mac-n-cheese. duffydyer -
Mac and Cheese Mac and Cheese
Finally, it is here! I had been wanting to make this dish for as long as I can remember. My daughters have been requesting for this for ages. Perhaps I couldn't find a great mac n cheese recipe, I mean I'd tried my fair share of mac n cheese, home-cooked and at eateries. I wasn't at all impressed. Sure, some are Instagram-worthy with all that photogenic cheese pull but most fall flat on flavors.They were either too gloopy or too blend without much depth in flavors. Some of the cheese sauces are too over-powering which kinda makes me wanna throw up. Yes, it is that bad. And please don't get me started on the bread crumbs. I also had tried my hands on some of the celebrity chef's recipes, but I still wasn't impress. Until I stumbled upon Heston Blumenthal's version. He is right, you will never cook mac n cheese the same way again.He is right about the typical cheese sauce or mornay sauce whereby it starts with a roux and mixing in the milk and cheese. The roux will somehow makes the sauce gloopy and mask the flavors of the cheese. He switched the traditional ingredients and methods out for 4 simple elements: wine, stock, corn flour and cheese. I was a bit mindblown cos I finally found someone who agrees with me. Without much hesitation, I went ahead with his recipe and guess what? He also uses the same pasta cooking method as I am. How cool is that?

Loaded Mac and Cheese Loaded Mac and Cheese
This is a quick, creamy macaroni and cheese with a little extra. Adding the sausage, peppers and onions makes this a full meal. Experiment with different types of cheese that melt well: cheddar gouda, fontaine, provolone, swiss, gruyere, muenster, jack, etc. I used gouda in the pictures.
