Ingredients
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven (or smoker!) to 350.
Boil the macaroni using 1.5 teaspoons of the salttill al dente, drain and toss in butter. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mustard, ancho and paprika with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and set aside.
Shred the cheeses, and, yes, set aside.
Seed and finely dice 2 of the jalapenos.
In a frying pan, heat up 1 TBS of butter and add the jalapenos.
In a food processor, mix the evaporated milk, cream, eggs. Add the spices. Add the parmesan cheese.
Add the macaroni in a large casserole dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the noodles and mix well.
Add the corn, jalapenos and 75% of the shredded cheeses. Mix well.
Top with remaining cheese, crispy fried onion pieces.
Slice the final 2 jalapeno into small rings and garnish on top of the Panko.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Broil for 1 nanosecond to brown the Panko. Seriously, watch it closely!
Let sit for 5 minutes before scooping and enjoying!
Notes
My wife suggested topping with bacon pieces, and I kissed her.
Comments
These may be silly questions but I gotta know - what is panko, ancho? Is ancho short for anchovies?
Nope, not a silly question at all! Panko is just breadcrumbs. They use it a lot in Japanese cooking, for breading fried foods and adding crunch to others, such as sushi. It's far crispier than anything I've used! Love it!
"Ancho" is a chili powder. A pablano pepper, when dried, becomes a "dried ancho". When smoked, it brings a strong smokey flavour, but next to no additional heat. I use it, along with smoked paprika, for maximum flavour impact. :-)
