Do you love mac and cheese? Do you love a little spice and Mexican flavor? Do you love quick and easy recipes? Yes✓ Yes✓ Yes✓ . . . Then you are going to LOVE this Mexi Style Stovetop Mac and Cheese!

Stovetop Mac and Cheese is one of those comfort foods that bring me back to my childhood. How great was it when Mom would serve box mac ‘n cheese with cut up hot dogs for lunch!?!? That was one of my favorite childhood meals. Well, that and peanut butter banana and honey sandwiches.

I like to take my childhood favorites and make grown up versions with a twist. I made my favorite sandwich into Banana Layer Cake with Peanut Butter and Honey Frosting. Then I turned my favorite childhood drink into a Dirty Shirley Temple Cocktail. Now I’m making beloved mac and cheese into a mildly spiced, super cheesy meal!

I used Ortega fire roasted diced green chiles, McCormick taco seasoning and Chipotle Tabasco Sauce to give it a kick. Shredded three cheese blend and Velveeta make this mac n cheese ooey-gooey. Then I add Cacique Crema to get that over-the-top creaminess!

That is the great thing about making your own mac and cheese. You choose what type of noodle you want. Then use your favorite cheeses and spices to make it your own.

I still use the box mac and cheese in a pinch. But when I really want to make a meal of it I make Stovetop Mac and Cheese!
