Ingredients
- 2 cups macaroni noodles uncooked
- 22 ounces corn kernels 2 - 11 oz cans (drained)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 8 ounces cream cheese cubed
- 1 cup milk whole or 2%
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil on the stove over high heat.
- Add the macaroni noodles and cook according to package directions.
- Drain the noodles, then return them to the pot on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the corn, sour cream, cotija cheese, cream cheese, milk, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted, add the cilantro and serve.
Notes
- Store leftover Mexican street corn mac and cheese in the fridge for up to 6 days. Reheat it in a pot on the stove over medium-low heat, or in a bowl in the microwave.
- I do not recommend freezing this recipe, as the texture of the creamy sauce will not be the same after it’s frozen and defrosted.
