Mexican Street Corn is taken off the cob and tossed into this incredible mac and cheese recipe, which can be served as a side dish or vegetarian entree.
OMG y’all! This creamy, dreamy mac and cheese recipe is EVERYTHING!
As the biggest Mexican Street Corn fan ever, I’m determined to add it to as many recipes as possible. I began this recipe journey last fall when I made Mexican Street Corn Enchiladas and they turned out to be the BEST ENCHILADAS EVER!
I then had the idea to make Mexican Street Corn Mac & Cheese. Because what could be better than creamy, spicy Mexican street corn paired with cheesy, velvety mac and cheese?! Nothing, I tell you, absolutely nothing!
While my original idea for this dish was to serve it as an entree, (which I did for lunch, then dinner, then lunch again the next day!) this dish would also make a show-stopping side dish for upcoming summer BBQ’s or Cinco De Mayo!
It’s like two of the greatest side dishes in the world came together and created an even greater dish with magical cheesy super powers! If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m totally obsessed with this recipe!
But wait, there’s more, in addition to being seriously scrumptious, this recipe is also easy to make and made in only one pot in just 20 minutes!
If you weren’t already running to the store to grab the groceries and make this for dinner tonight, I’m sure you are now! 😉
