Ingredients:
- 1 lb macaroni noodles
- ½ cup butter, cubed
- ½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon minced dry onion
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups milk
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups smoked brisket, chopped
- ½ cup green chilies, diced or canned
Instructions:
Start by cooking the macaroni according to the package directions until it’s al dente. Once done, drain the pasta and return it to the pot, giving it an occasional stir to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour, minced dry onion, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook for about a minute until it’s thick and bubbly, making sure to keep whisking to avoid lumps.
Gradually whisk in the milk, bringing the mixture to a boil. Continue to stir constantly until the sauce thickens. This step might require some patience, but it ensures a smooth and creamy sauce.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat and gradually whisk in the shredded cheeses. Make sure each addition of cheese is fully melted before adding more.
Stir in the chopped brisket and diced green chilies until everything is well combined.
Finally, pour the cheese sauce over the cooked pasta in the pot. Stir everything together until the macaroni is fully coated in the rich, cheesy sauce.
Serve the Brisket Mac and Cheese hot, enjoying the comforting blend of creamy pasta, smoky brisket, and just a hint of spice.
Extra Tips:
- You can save time by preparing the brisket a day in advance or using leftover brisket.
- For an added layer of texture, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top of the mac and cheese, and broil for a few minutes until golden brown. This will give you a crispy, delicious topping that contrasts perfectly with the creamy pasta.
