    List of Ingredients




    Mac �N Cheese Jalape�o Poppers from Penny



    16 jalape�o peppers
    Salt
    1/2 pounds ditalini pasta
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons flour
    1/2 cup chicken stock
    1 cup milk
    1 1/4 cups grated shark cheddar cheese
    Pepper
    1 tablespoon yellow mustard
    1/4 cup breadcrumbs or crushed saltine crackers

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 425�F.

    Working lengthwise, slice off the top quarter of each jalape�o. Using a small spoon, scrape the seeds and ribs out of each jalape�o. Finely chop the tops.

    Place a large pot of water over high heat to boil. When the water reaches a bubble, salt it well and drop the pasta. Cook to al dente.

    While the pasta is cooking, place a medium pot over medium heat with the butter. Add the chopped pepper tops to the butter and soften, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the peppers and cook 1 minute more. Whisk the chicken stock and milk into the mixture and bring up to a bubble. Stir in the mustard, season the sauce with salt and pepper and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from the stove and stir in 1 cup of the cheese until melted. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.

    Mound up spoonfuls of the mac �n cheese in the peppers. Sprinkle them remaining cheese and breadcrumbs, and bake until the tops are golden brown and peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.
