Steps:

Pour in milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes to cool slightly and prevent cheese from separating.

JALAPENO MAC AND CHEESE
Many years ago after I had had knee surgery, a friend brought me a big casserole of mac and cheese along with the recipe. I have fiddled with the recipe over the years, most recently adding jalapenos at the request of my son. What an awesome spicy twist! -Teresa Gustafson, Elkton, Maryland

JALAPENO POPPER MAC 'N CHEESE
With an abundance of jalapenos in the garden, I was looking for new ways to use them, and this popper mac 'n cheese is a great one! This recipe is easily adjustable to add more heat or to take it away. The amount of jalapenos used in this recipe will yield a nice, spicy mac 'n cheese without being too over-the-top spicy. The mac 'n cheese itself is rich and creamy. Enjoy!

JALAPENO POPPER BACON MAC AND CHEESE
I added a lot more jalapenos than the recipe called for, and I didn't add any salt because the bacon was salty enough. I also didn't cook anything in bacon grease (I prefer butter). Overall, this is a keeper. Recipe courtesy of www.thelowroasteditalian.com.
