coarse salt
1 pound penne rigate
1 1/2 pouns ground beef sirloin
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander (I used about 1 teaspoon)
2 tablespoons ground chipotle powder (that seemed like way too much, so I used 1 tablespoon ground chili powder and 1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder)
coarse black pepper
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (I skipped this)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 1/2 cups smoked Cheddar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (I skipped)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leave, chopped
1 14-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes (I couldn't find fire-roasted and then forgot to add the regular diced tomatoes!)
My notes: This was pretty tasty, but it certainly did not come together in 30 minutes and there was 3 of us prepping. When you have 3 different pots going, it's very difficult to get it done within 30 minutes. To up the taste next time I would probably try chipotle in adobo and definitely try to find the fire-roasted tomatoes to see if those added some needed flavor. All in all, a nice comfort food and kid-friendly dish.
I talked bout this recipe HERE.
Saying it only took 30 mins to make was wrong the first time I made it but I did learn to make in 30 mins the second time. I used ONE pot to make it the second time and it only took the 30 mins that was suppose to be

Hi. Yes, sometimes the first time making a recipe can take a little longer. I'll have to give it another go. :)
