2 oz Philadelphia® Cream Cheese
¼ cup Kraft® Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
¼ cup milk
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 small jalapeño, seeded and diced, plus ½ small jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but my husband loves it. I usually just omit the jalapeños and it's still delicious.

I made this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The cheese sauce was too thick and the pasta was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This mac and cheese is easy to make and always a hit with my family. I like to add some crumbled bacon and chopped green onions to it for extra flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The jalapeños are not overpowering at all, and they really add a nice depth of flavor to the dish.

This recipe is a game-changer! The jalapeños add just the right amount of heat, and the creamy cheese sauce is out of this world. I'll definitely be making this again and again.
