Sometimes, culinary enlightenment strikes in the unlikeliest of places—even in the frozen food aisle! For me, the muse appeared during a family visit to New Mexico, where I encountered Trader Joe’s frozen Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese. Intrigued? Me too! But living nearly an hour away from the nearest Trader Joe’s forced my hand: Why not craft a version that surpasses store-bought convenience?
Why This Green Chili Mac and Cheese Recipe Stands Out
What makes this dish special? We’re talking about a symphony of melted Monterey Jack and mild cheddar cheese enveloping each elbow macaroni. But it’s the Hatch green chilis that steal the show, infusing the dish with a subtle, earthy warmth. Oh, and let’s not overlook the au gratin finale—a broiler-kissed cheese topping that takes you to the pinnacle of culinary ecstasy.
