"In addition to venturing into different salsas, from fire-roasted to salsa verde or even salsa con queso for an even cheesier dish, you should consider giving a variety of cheeses a try. Sargento Four Cheese Mexican Blend would, of course, be ideal for a Tex-Mex-themed mac and cheese but Kraft Colby and Monterey Jack would work equally as well. Cotija might be even better, especially if you add some corn for a street corn-inspired twist."
"Simply cook your mac and cheese as you normally would, be it a decadent homemade recipe or a box of store-bought mac and cheese. Then, once it's ready, add a few heaping spoonfuls of your jarred salsa and top it with a heavy sprinkle of shredded cheese. It's that simple. To bring out the tomatoes in your jarred salsa even more, you could add it to your pot or pan while your mac and cheese is still cooking."
Jarred salsa and shredded cheese transform ordinary mac and cheese into a Tex-Mex dish with minimal cost or effort. A 16-ounce jar of Pace Chunky Salsa and an 8-ounce bag of Kraft Shredded Cheddar are inexpensive options. Prepare mac and cheese as usual, then stir in a few spoonfuls of salsa and top with shredded cheese. Heating the salsa briefly while cooking reduces acidity and sweetens tomatoes. Try different salsas—fire-roasted, salsa verde, or salsa con queso—and cheeses like Sargento Four Cheese, Colby, Monterey Jack, or cotija. Add proteins, beans, peppers, sour cream, guacamole, or cilantro to finish.
