  1. Spring PAC 2009: Delicious, grownup Mac and Cheese!! I enjoyed the spicy, flavor combo!!
     
  2. I enjoyed this twist on mac & cheese. Instead of using diced tomatoes and then minced jalapenos, I just used Rotel. Wowsers this has some bite! lol. I really enjoyed it. The only thing I would change is next time I don't think I'd do the breadcrumb/parmesan topping, or if I did cut it waaaay back. This wasn't super creamy like I love my mac & cheese to be, but it was pretty tasty anyway! Thanks for posting. Made for PRMR Tag.
