Mac and Jack Cheese
This is my take on a southwestern mac and cheese made with Monterrey jack! If you were pressed for time, you could just omit the crushed tortilla chips and mix the cheese in with the pasta and serve without baking! I think this dish would also be great with cooked chicken or ground beef! Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS
- In a large skillet, heat half-and-half over medium-high until it comes to a boil, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add cream cheese, stirring constantly until smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in green chilies, salt and pepper, and pasta. Toss to coat.
- Spread half of pasta mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Top with 1 cup cheese. Repeat once more with remaining pasta and cheese.
- Sprinkle crushed chips over casserole. Bake at 350F degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly and topping is golden!
