Ingredients

8 servings
- •1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
- •1 (16 ounce) package bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
- •10 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- •2 tablespoons chile paste, or to taste
- •salt and ground black pepper to taste
- •4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- •1 tablespoon minced garlic
- •4 cups whole milk
- •16 ounces shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
- •8 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until nearly crispy, about 5 minutes. Add jalapeños and fry until they are soft and bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain some of the bacon fat, leaving 4 tablespoons of fat in the pan.
- Stir chile paste into the pan and fry for 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Cook and stir garlic in the pan for 1 minute. Pour in milk and cook over medium heat, constantly whisking, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes to slightly cool and prevent cheese from separating.
- Stir Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese into mixture until melted. Add drained pasta and mix together. Serve.
