Fiery Jack Mac and Cheese Recipe

A spicy kicked up fire roasted Mac and Cheese recipe featuring Cabot Creamery’s new shredded cheeses. 

Fire Roasted Mac and Cheese Recipe from dineanddish.net

I have been so excited to share this recipe with you for quite some time. I’m going to say, testing this recipe over the past month is the reason I’m not totally beach bod ready this season…but I’ll also share that it’s been totally worth it. Cabot Creamery, my favorite dairy company, recently introduced new shredded varieties of their cheeses and I’ve been ALL IN. They have 15 new shredded cheese varieties, including my favorites “Fiery Jack”, “Two State Farmers”, and “Rustic Pizza”.

If you follow me on Instagram then you’ve probably noticed that Cabot’s Fiery Jack shredded cheese has been making it’s appearance in many of my meals lately. I can’t get enough of this blend of Habanero Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. It adds the perfect spiced up kick to burgers, pasta and more!

This fire roasted mac and cheese is one of those things you just can’t stop eating. In fact, the last batch I made we had for dinner while my oldest son was at work. There was over half a casserole dish left when he got home. I mentioned I’d left some dinner on the table for him. He heated up the ENTIRE remaining pan and ate the whole thing. Oh to be 16 again with that kind of metabolism. My entire family keeps raving about how much they love this recipe! Even with the peas in it!

If you are looking switch up some of your favorite recipes featuring shredded cheese, I can’t recommend trying Cabot’s new shredded cheese varieties out. With so many choices of flavors, you can make one recipe a variety of different ways and enjoy something new each night.

Also, don’t worry about the beach body. Give this recipe a try again and again and you’ll soon talk yourself into realizing beach bodies are overrated. Creamy cheesy pasta goodness is way better. Enjoy!

Fire Roasted Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese gets kicked up a notch with fire roasted tomatoes and Cabot Fiery Jack Mac and Cheese.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Author Kristen

Ingredients

  • 5 cups penne pasta uncooked
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 1/2 cups Cabot Fiery Jack Shredded Cheese divided
  • 2 cups Cabot Mac and Cheese Shredded Cheese
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes drained
  • 2 cups cooked sweet peas
  • 3 eggs beaten

Instructions

  1. In a large stock pot, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. 

  3. In the same stockpot you used to cook your pasta, melt the butter over low heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in flour and salt and continue whisking until smooth (not lumpy but will be thick).  

  4. Increase heat to medium and slowly whisk in milk and whipping cream. Heat to boiling, stirring continuously. Boil for one minute while stirring. Lower heat and stir in 2 cups of Fiery Jack cheese and 2 cups of Mac and Cheese cheese. Cook just until melted.

  5. Remove from heat and stir pasta, fire roasted tomatoes and peas into the cheese mixture. Stir in beaten eggs. 

  6. Pour pasta into the prepared casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes. Once the 20 minutes is up, change oven setting to broil. Add remaining 1/2 cup of fiery jack cheese to the top of the pasta and place under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until browned on top. 

  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

      Hy-Vee currently has some of the varieties but what they have seems to change often. I haven’t seen them at Price Chopper yet but put in a request with the manager so fingers crossed!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
.

This month in @kimklassen photography Inner Circle, we’re tackling the alphabet, with an A-Z photography challenge (interpreting that however we see fit). If you want to join us, check out this wonderful community of photographers at @kimklassen_innercircle 📷.
