Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

16 oz beef chorizo
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 ⅓ cups red bell pepper, diced/small
⅓ cup small jalapeño, diced
1 ¼ teaspoons Mccormick® ground cumin
¾ teaspoon McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon McCormick® Smoked Paprika
½ teaspoon McCormick® Onion Powder
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
45 oz heavy cream
2 ⅓ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 ⅓ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lb dried cellentani pasta, cooked according to package instructions
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 teaspoons olive oil
¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Make the sauce: Add the beef chorizo to a 2-quart pan over medium heat. Once the chorizo starts to sizzle, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan, breaking the chorizo into smaller pieces, 3-5 minutes.
  • Transfer half of the chorizo to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • To the remaining chorizo, add the olive oil, red bell pepper, and jalapeño, and cook for 2 minutes, until softened. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the McCormick® Ground Cumin, McCormick® Ground Cinnamon, McCormick® Smoked Paprika, McCormick® Onion Powder, and flour. Cook for 2 minutes, until the chorizo is cooked through.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high, add the heavy cream, and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream begins to simmer. Whisk in the cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses, 1 cup at a time, until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the salt, then cook for 2 minutes more until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add in cooked pasta and stir to coat. Transfer to a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Make the panko crust: Add the panko bread crumbs and olive oil to the bowl with the reserved chorizo and mix well.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the pasta, then evenly sprinkle the panko chorizo mixture on top.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Scoop the mac 'n' cheese into bowls and garnish with sliced jalapeño.
  • Enjoy!
