Instructions

1.

Cook the macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.

3.

Reduce heat to low. Add monterey jack, a handful at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.

4.

Stir in Del Real Foods Chile Verde, then add the cooked macaroni and stir until evenly coated and heated through.

5.

Remove from heat. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the mac and gently fold a few times, leaving pockets of melted cheese throughout for a good cheese pull. Transfer immediately to a serving bowl, top with cilantro, and serve hot.
