Serencymru 's Chipotle Macaroni And Cheese I Made It

Serencymru 's Chipotle Macaroni And Cheese

mrpiggy 12 years ago
Ive been on a chipotle kick lately so I made this. I also had about a pound of ground beef that I wanted to use up, so I doubled the recipe and added it. I forgot to add parsley which would have added some color. Mac & Cheese is always so plain looking. With chipotle in this and the Sazon Goya, this was really good. I added 3/4 of the can of chipotle I didnt think it was too "spicey". Had a mild bite to me, but a great smokey flavor. Oh, and I was out of bread crumbs so I had to skip thos. This was an easy dish with tons of flavor

I think next time I will make it with some bacon,

Chipotle Macaroni And Cheese

You actually did a bang up job of the macaroni picture MrP. Although I must say I'm surprised by your choice of beer this evening. :) I have only made homemade mac' n cheese once. The main reason is most recipes seem to call for a lot of cheese and sometimes cream, etc. and we just avoid it. But this one only has 8 oz. of cheese and that's reasonable. Have never heard of Sazon Goya ever. I see the recipe actually calls for 'shudder' broccoli or cauliflower but I'd way prefer to add the ground round. :). I'm also pretty new to Chipotle but I do like it. Gonna bookmark. :)

Hey Chuckie. Thanks for adding the link, I forgot. I drink Bud Light when I feel like drinking more than the one or 2.. I was more thirsty today than I was hungry. That was probably due to having a couple before even thinking about cooking. Been a rushed couple of days at work and I rushed to the fridge cuz it was beer:30

I have also tried a couple of mac n cheese recipes and they usually call for a TON of cheese. I wanted chipotle and when I saw this with not so much cheese I had to try it

I know you dont like broccoli, and had I not taken it all to work for lunch today, I would have added it : )

Here is a pic of Sazon Goya http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server3100/1c5de/products/569/images/655/Goya_Sazon_Culantro_and_Annatto_Econopack_3.52_oz_1__72693.1318875763.1280.1280.jpg

LOL @ beer:30 MrP! :) Interesting on the Sazon Goya. I'll look for it in the stores. It could have always been there and I just didn't look at it as I didn't know what to do with it. Did a bit more googling and did find a homemade recipe for it.

Home made Sazon Goya con Azafran

Combine 1 Tablespoon of each of the following:

Salt
Black peppercorns, toasted and ground
Garlic powder or granulated garlic
Cilantro, dried or toasted and ground coriander seed
Cumin seed, toasted and ground
Oregano, dried
Annatto (achiote) seeds

Mix ingredients together well and use 1.5 teaspoons for each packet of the Goya Sazon your recipe calls for.

But that doesn't help me a whole lot either as I have also never seen Annatto (achiote) seeds. :)

Are you going to rate it and link back here, MrP? :-P
That's a cheesy looking picture. :) I've never heard of sazon goya! I don't think I would like vegetables in macaroni and cheese. I'd leave them out but the bacon sounds good!

As for Sazon Goya, this Smoky Black Beans With Pico De Gallo was my first introduction to it
