Ingredients
  

  • 3 Poblano Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 link Chorizo Sausage
  • 8 ounces Elbow Macaroni
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard
  • 1/2 cup Yellow Onion Diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 3 cups Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese Grated
  • 1/2 cup Aged Asiago Cheese Grated
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese Grated
  • 1/4 cup Aged Asiago Cheese Grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Rub the poblano peppers with the olive oil and place on a foil-lined sheet pan.
  • Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes, or until skins have blistered. Remove peppers from oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, slice the chorizo sausage into 1/4" slices and then cut each slice in half. Cook in a medium fry pan for 8-10 minutes, or until browned. Set cooked sausage aside.
  • At the same time, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain pasta and set aside.
  • Once peppers have cooled, remove skins, seeds and stems. Dice the peppers and set aside.
  • Heat milk in microwave until hot.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and heat until melted. Slowly whisk in the flour and mustard powder until smooth; continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly whisk in the warm milk and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until mixture has thickened.
  • Increase heat to medium and add the diced onion; simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the salt, pepper and half of the grated cheddar cheese. Stir together until cheese has melted and mixture is smooth. Add cooked pasta and stir until well coated.
  • Stir in the remaining cheddar cheese along with the Asiago cheese, diced Poblano peppers and cooked sausage.
  • Stir together the melted butter, bread crumbs, cheddar cheese and Asiago cheese. Spread the Topping evenly over the macaroni in the skillet.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly.
