by Karen Curtis | Sep 16, 2024 | Youth Gour-Made Blog | 0 comments

Trinidadian Mac and Cheese

2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp for greasing pan
454 g dry elbow macaroni (or other pasta)
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely grated
1 Jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
2 (354 ml) cans evaporated milk
1 tbsp thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
½ - 1 tsp cayenne pepper
1  tsp salt
1-2 tsp black pepper
3 cups grated  cheddar cheese, divided
2 large eggs, whisked

Step 1: Add macaroni to a pot of salted boiling water cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Melt butter in a Dutch oven or other oven-safe pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and carrot, and sauté until softened and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3: Add jalapeno pepper to the pot, stir to incorporate and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4: Add evaporated milk, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper to the pot, mix well, and bring everything to a simmer. Remove from heat.

Step 5: Add 2 cups cheddar to the pot, and stir until cheese is fully melted.

Step 6: Fold in the cooked macaroni and eggs until well combined.

Step 7: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar on top.

Step 8: Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown on top.
