Macaroni and Cheese Chile Boats

WHAT YOU NEED

Queso Cotija Grated Cheese

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
2 medium poblano chiles (roasted, skins and seeds removed, and diced into small pieces)
4 large poblano chiles, cut in half lengthwise and seeds and veins removed
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
15 ounces Cacique^® Queso Quesadilla, shredded
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Cacique^® Queso Cotija, grated

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain pasta in a colander, rinse with cold water and set aside.
Roast and sweat two medium poblano chiles. Remove skin, seeds and veins, and then dice chile into small pieces.
In a stock pot, add heavy cream, 2% milk, butter, Mexican oregano, dry mustard powder and kosher salt. Bring to a boil and after 2 minutes, reduce to a simmer. Add shredded Cacique^® Queso Quesadilla to the stock pot and stir until cheese is melted completely.
Add the macaroni, diced chile poblano and sliced mushrooms to the stock pot and stir well to coat. Simmer for 5-7 more minutes, until the mushrooms are slightly softened.
On a parchment paper or aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, spoon macaroni mixture into the poblano chile halves. Mix breadcrumbs and grated Cacique^® Queso Cotija in a small dish. Sprinkle generously over the top of each poblano chile filled with the macaroni mixture. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until the breadcrumb and cotija mixture has turned golden brown.
