Nothing is more American than football, but mac 'n' cheese is a definite contender. This one topped with crunchy croutons will be your new game-day favorite.
Ingredients
- 4 La Brea Bakery Take & Bake French Dinner Rolls
- 1 (16-ounce) package Velveeta Cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 pound fusilli pasta, cooked
- 4 ounces blackened chicken breast
- Olive oil spray
- Black & Bleu Cajun Blackening seasoning (or seasoning of choice)
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Place a large saucepan over medium-low heat and add Velveeta cheese. Cook, until fully melted, stirring occasionally.
- Fold in the mozzarella cheese and add the pasta and chicken, mixing together.
- To make the croutons, cut the rolls into ¾-inch cubes. Place them into a bowl and spray with olive oil. Season generously with your favorite Black & Blue spice blend and mix to combine.
- Transfer croutons to a baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or until just starting to brown. Remove and set aside.
- Add half the croutons to the mac and cheese mixture and combine. Pour mixture into a cast iron skillet.
- Place the remaining croutons on top, pushing them into the mac and cheese until about halfway down.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and the croutons are golden brown. Remove and serve.
