Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

  • 1 (11 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup

  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 1 pound shredded Colby cheese

  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped

  4. Stir together panko bread crumbs and olive oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over the top of casserole.
