I would just like to state that if prepared correctly this meal will NOT be spicy, as counter-intuitive as that may seem.

Ingredients:

2 lbs pasta, cooked

1 Tbs butter

1 Tbs flour

1 quart whole milk

1 lb cheddar cheese, shredded

2 lbs jalapenos

80 oz. black beans, drained

64 oz. diced tomatoes

Salt to taste

Feeds 6

Preheat your oven to 500F.

Roast jalapenos on a metal baking sheet for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Put them in a large bowl and cover for 30 minutes.

Carefully remove as much of the skin, stem, and seeds as possible, then thoroughly mash.

Set aside.

Melt butter in a large pot or wok, then stir in flour. Allow it to cook for 4 minutes, then stir in milk. When the milk is heated begin stirring the cheese in one handful at a time mixing until the cheese is melted. This will take several minutes. Finally add mashed jalapenos.

Mix with pasta, beans and tomatoes, transfer to a baking dish or two and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
