Chipotle Mac & Cheese

Macaroni & cheese has always been a huge weakness of mine. I was reading the dcfoodies blog one day, and folks were posting their favorite mac & cheese recipes. Until now, I swore by my recipe consisting of a blend of brie, gruyere, fontina, and parmesan. But, I came across this one and had to try it…chipotle peppers, cheese, and pasta w/ garlic bread crumbs. I made this for Neil to take to one of his Vtech tailgates, and also for our beer can chicken night . It was devoured! Adjust the cheeses, spice level, and fat (cream vs. milk) to your own liking. I like a blend of pepper jack and sharp white cheddar. I also like to make the bread topping using panko bread crumbs versus regular. The difference in crunch factor is huge. Whatever you do, you can’t go wrong with this one.
