Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound beef, 90% lean ground
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
8 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked
2 cups milk, whole
1 1/4 cups water, warm
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded sharp
1/2 cup American cheese, chopped
2 tablespoons chives, thinly sliced fresh
1/4 cup panko, (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
1 scallion, green parts sliced

Yield

Serves: 4 servings

Preparation

Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add the beef, black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring to crumble, until browned, about 5 minutes.

Preheat the broiler with the oven rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Reduce the stovetop heat to medium, and stir in the macaroni. Add the milk, warm water, dry mustard, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a low simmer and cover; reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and cheeses melt. Stir in the chives and jalapeños (if using).

Sprinkle the panko over the macaroni mixture. Broil until the panko is golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Garnish with the scallions and serve immediately.
