Baked Pepper Jack Style Mac & Cheese with Crispy Topping!

Written By: Chris - Feb• 18•13

It was a chilly Sunday when I prepared this dish for our (grown up) kids who were all coming over for dinner.  Though they all enjoy pasta and homemade mac and cheese, I changed this dish up a bit by adding pepper jack cheese, which is Michelle’s favorite and added some other varieties that I had on hand in the fridge. 

I like to use Campanelle Pasta, which means little bells.  These curled pasta resemble a dangling bell.  They and suck up the soupy mixture and hold up their nice al dente texture even when baked alarm tones!

This is an easy dish to prepare and has a lot of flavor!  It’s rich and delicious and is comforting on a cold winter day!
