Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: One 5.9-ounce box macaroni and cheese mix, such as Cheetos® Mac ‘n Cheese Bold & Cheesy Flavor; 1/3 cup whole milk; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs; 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped; 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes; 1 teaspoon olive oil; 1 clove garlic, grated; Zest of 1 lime (about 1 teaspoon); Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature; 8 large jalapeños, halved lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed

Directions

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the macaroni from the box and cook until al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the macaroni and return it to the pot. Add the milk and butter and stir until melted together. Add the cheese packet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the cheese sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool, about 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, onion flakes, olive oil, garlic, lime zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
Spread the cream cheese down the middle of each jalapeño half, then top with the macaroni and cheese mixture. Transfer the jalapeño halves to a baking sheet. Top with the breadcrumb mixture.
Bake until the jalapeños are slightly softened and the breadcrumbs are turning golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
