Movie rights: Home Alone!!! Macaulay Culkin plz don’t sue
Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese
// INGREDIENTS //
– 1/2 lb elbow pasta
– 2 tsp ‘better than bouillon’ paste or stock
– 3 tbsp butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 5 jalapeños, finely chopped (+/- really depends how spicy the jalapeńos you got are, can also remove the seeds if you want less heat)
– 2 tbsp AP flour
– 2 cups heavy cream, room temp
– 3oz cream cheese, room temp (about a third of a regular 8oz box)
– 1 tbsp cajun seasoning (I used the slap ya mama hot blend)
– 1 tsp kashmiri red chili powder or paprika (both are mild this is mainly for color)
– 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
– 8 oz freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese (please do not get pre-shredded!!)
– 6 oz freshly grated pepper jack cheese
– Mugful of pasta water
// RECIPE //
1️⃣ Start boiling water in a large pot. In the meantime, in a large pan, heat up 2 tbsp of your butter and then sauté your jalapeños and garlic for 2 min.
2️⃣ Melt the remaining tbsp of butter and add in flour. Mix until a roux forms (a thickish paste starts forming and the raw flour smell goes away).
3️⃣ Your water should be boiling by now and you can mix in the bouillon paste and add pasta. Set a timer to cook just until al dente.
4️⃣ Whisk in heavy cream on low-med heat, whisk in cream cheese, seasonings, and then cheeses. Once everything is combined, taste and adjust as needed, turn the heat off.
5️⃣ Drain your pasta (make sure to reserve pasta water!) and add the al dente pasta in the cheese sauce with as much pasta water as needed to get your desired consistency.
6️⃣ Once everything is well combined, you can enjoy as is or you can transfer to an oven-safe dish to bake!
7️⃣ To bake – top with more shredded cheese on top and bake at 375F just until the cheese is melted and then nestle in some sliced jalapeños, pushing them slightly with the back of your spoon. Then put back into the oven with the broiler on until you get a nice golden crispy top – mine took about 4 min but make sure you keep an eye on it.

adult version 😭😭😭😭😭
Yum!!
Yesss I hate that
Yum
Kevin had a plate, a normal sized plate.
Was watching it with my parents n grand mother on Christmas Eve n i thought the same 😭
Mac and cheese with milk?? Doesn't sounds too good to me.
praise this highly nutritious microwavable mac and cheese
Same though- i watched it on Christmas Eve again with one of my sisters and all I could think about is how he didn’t eat a bite of it! He could have at least taken one bite…. Or taken it with him. Haha.
Hate that scene too 😭
“Better than any microwavable one”
Yeah take that Kevin😭
This pisses me off because Kevin didn’t have a bowl. He had a PLATE!
P.s. this doesn’t really, it’s a joke for all the sissy’s
I think so many people are sleeping on how versatile stock cubes & pastes are. We have OXO cubes into he UK & get them in about 5 different flavours (beef, veg, etc) & I use the vegan friendly ones in absolutley everything. When cooking boiled foods, in stews & sauces, crush & sprinkle them on top of mac & cheese or buttered crumpets/toast & theyre even good as a savoury drink on cold days.
Honestly…one way ticket to flavour town. They're so tasty!
Omg I hated that scene too jkjk I was like after the movie I was like " wait.. Did Kevin eat his Mac and Cheese? " lol
Look good but ur mispronouncing jalapeño
i was waiting for you to take a bite at the end lol
But he eating off a plate 🤨
First Mac and cheese i would eat. Im european and the regular plastic cheese with mushy playdough mix is just so disgusting to watch
OMG SAME IM ALWAYS LIKE DUDE JUST TAKE A BITE, ONE BITE
Aaah… YOU didn't eat a bite either!!!!! 😵💫
It's his own fault making dinner at 9:00 pm right when he knew the wet bandits were gonna arrive
This was all kids in all media back then. Kid walks downstairs to breakfast buffet of all kinds of food. Walks by it takes a sip of orange juice says “sorry mom late for school” and walks away from it without taking a single bite of anything 😢. I always wanted to kill those kid cause I would have loved a breakfast like that when I was in school 😭
That scene makes me want a frozen Mac and cheese every time
People do this in movies and tv all the time it drives me nuts lol
The best scene in Home Alone.
"Jimmy ! Stop that boy!"
Me too!!!!!!
YES! I always got so irritated when he didnt eat that yummy looking plate of mac n cheese😭
And when I was younger looking at that scene I'm like who eats macaroni as a whole meal instead of a side dish? I ain't never seen that before but I guess some people just built different 😂
Me too l hated how he left delicious food like that,but this looks great goin to try it,😀
