Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the butter, corn, onions, red peppers, garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt to a medium saucepot set over medium-high heat. Saute until the onions are translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cumin, chile powder, cayenne pepper and flour and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, to make a roux, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the cold milk in a steady stream, stirring vigorously until the mixture is smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until starting to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the cheddar and Monterey Jack. Cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the scallions, pepper and rigatoni and mix well to combine.
  • Pour the into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle the panko evenly over the top and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Remove to a cooling rack and let rest for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with the cotija, jalapeno and cilantro. Serve immediately.

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 red pepper, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chile powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 all-purpose flour

EASY MEXICAN MAC AND CHEESE

Creamy, cheesy, spicy...and cooks up easily in your crockpot even if you don't have a kitchen. At your desk at work? Yes! Anywhere with an electrical outlet! This is not one of those "dump and go" recipes as you can't leave your crockpot unattended, but a tastier alternative to boxed mac and cheese. It is not, however, better texture or taste than from-scratch mac and cheese on the stove. This recipe was created for a crockpot cooking contest and truthfully, you will love it even more it you make the recipe in a pot on the stove. You can always transfer to a crockpot for party-style serving. Enjoy!

Steps:

  • SPRAY crockpot with cooking spray.
  • DUMP pasta, then all other ingredients (except garnishes) in your crockpot.
  • COOK ON HIGH for at least 45 minutes without disturbing; from that point on, stir every half hour or so, checking to see if the pasta is done (based on the reviews it can take anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours). When your pasta is cooked, proceed to Step #4.
  • SERVE -- topped generously with green onions and crushed tortilla chips! Be sure to turn off the crockpot or switch to the warm setting, so the pasta doesn't get mushy.

8 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
1/2 cup mexican lager beer (such as Corona)
4 slices bacon, diced
10 ounces rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (not drained)
8 ounces cream cheese
2 cups milk
12 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, cubed (I used one and a half 8 oz. blocks of KRAFT Natural Pepper Jack)
green onion, sliced
tortilla chips, crushed

MEXI-MAC CASSEROLE
