Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese

One of the most popular comfort foods is good ol’ mac and cheese! This pepper jack macaroni and cheese is rich and cheesy! Definitely filling and satisfying! I am a sucker for mac and cheese and it’s one of my favorite comfort foods to eat!

Pepper Jack Macaroni and CheeseThis pepper jack macaroni and cheese is great on these cold and snowy days. We are finally getting some much needed rain here is SoCal today, and this mac and cheese is perfect!

Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese

This pepper jack macaroni and cheese is a great alternate to the traditional cheddar mac and cheese. This thickens up as it sits, so it’s best to eat right away while it’s still nice and creamy. To reheat it later, or if it gets to thick, just a little almond milk and heat it up again.
