Chile Mac and Cheese. What could make mac & cheese even better? Taking it on a southwestern spin with roasted green chiles, corn, and jack cheese! Here's my new favorite recipe for putting to good use garden or market green chiles—a green chile mac and cheese casserole, with corn.
The addition of green chiles really puts a surprising spin on this classic dish.
They give this mac and cheese the perfect amount of spice, which I would classify as a "medium" on the mild-medium-hot scale of spiciness.
If you can't get your hands on Hatch chiles, you can substitute another green chile, such as poblanos or Anaheims.
