Elbow macaroni are tossed with a cheddar cheese sauce and fresh jalapeños, finished with chives for brightness. The jalapeños add a fresh, spicy kick that cuts through the richness of the cheese, while the chives provide an herbal note that lifts the overall flavor profile. The dish can be upgraded to 'Hamburger Helper style' for an additional $4, which adds a ground beef component for those seeking extra protein.
