Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup powdered milk
  • .25 ounce unflavored gelatin
  • 1 1/2 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 16 ounce elbow macaroni
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 smoked jalapeno, diced
  • 3 cup cheese sauce
  • 4 tablespoon parmesan bread crumbs
Directions
  1. Combine everything into a blender and pulse on high until smooth and consistent. Set this aside and allow to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. In a pot on the stovetop, boil the macaroni noodles until desired firmness is reached. Drain into a colander and reserve. In the original pot add the garlic, shallots, and smoked jalapeños on medium high heat. Simmer until the garlic and shallots become transparent, then add in the cheese sauce. Stir until mixture is smooth and consistent then incorporate the macaroni noodles. Fold them in with a silicone spatula so the noodles don’t break.
  4. Once this is all complete, transfer into a baking dish. Evenly crumble parmesan bread crumbs onto the top. Place on the top rack of the oven for a couple of minutes until the top of the dish and the breadcrumbs are a nice golden brown color.
