I thought it was a little bland . . . despite the kick from the pepper, it was missing something. Not sure what - salt? I didn't add any - maybe I should have. I used poblanos because the jalapenos in my store looked a little "tired," and dried minced onions because I was out of onions. I also thought the sauce was a bit thick - might use 3 T flour vs. 5, and maybe add a bit more cheese.

This is very, very good. It is the only way I make mac & cheese now.
I have made it with and without breadcrumbs and prefer it without as it is not as dry. Be warned, though, depending on the size of the jalapenos, it can be very hot. If you want it mild, 2 jalapenos will still give you heat.

This was pretty good. Not really as creamy as I would've liked. But that could be my fault as I added less flour. I will say, the flavor was still awesome. I did add a little salt.

DH & I really enjoyed this. I halved the recipe easily, but used the full amount of cumin & cayenne. I used skim milk & whole-wheat macaroni. The flavor is good & spicy. The cheese/milk mixture was a little thick - I think i needed to use more milk to make it more creamy - and I didn't use as many breadcrumbs, but this was a delicious weeknight side to baked chicken nuggets, a salad & Roasted Green Beans. It came together really quickly too - I baked about 15 min.

This was good I skipped adding the flour and used homemade bread crumbs also with a little burrito seasoning to keep it more mexican tasting. Thanks!

This was very good, although I used a 4 oz. can of minced jalepeno because I did not have fresh ones, and added some cayenne as well. I love spicy food. :) I will be making this again, and congrats on a very easy and tasty mac & cheese. :)

Very good and hit the spot as far as comfort food goes, but definitely needs more seasoning as it was a little bland until I added a few things(salt, pepper, cayenne, etc). I used poblanos instead of jalapenos and whole wheat shells instead of elbows because that was what I had on hand. The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star recipe is the lack of seasoning, but otherwise a very solid macaroni and cheese dish. I'm reviewing this dish for PAC Fall '06.

I can't resist macaroni & cheese - I'm always trying new recipes and this is a good one! I left out the onion because I didn't have any and used skim milk. I also made my own breadcrumbs from asiago cheese bread mixed with dried parsley, oregano, basil, & garlic & onion powders. The recipe came together very easily and made for a great lunch on a chilly fall day. Thanks Cynna!
