This isn't my first makeover mac & cheese recipe. Back in February I shared my recipe for secret ingredient baked mac & cheese, which substituted pumpkin for part of the cheese sauce. I have made this sneaky dish several times, and it has been quickly devoured each time. But now it's time for something a little more seasonally appropriate. As much as I love mac & cheese, I'm not about to turn on the oven just to make a batch when it's 100 degrees outside. Stovetop recipes to the rescue!
Avocados are in season right now, which means they are on sale. I really try, but I just can't keep myself from buying them by the bagful. They are just so good! And while I love guacamole and tortillas chips, after a while I was ready to try something else with my avocadoes. Then I remembered that I had saved this recipe for stovetop guacamole mac & cheese. This recipe uses guacamole for part of its creaminess, and a pepperjack cheese sauce for the rest. And it is easily prepared on the stove. It was the solution to all my problems!
