Hatch Chili Macaroni and Cheese

If two things you loved get married. Mac and Cheese, and Hatch Peppers

prep time: 10

cook time: 30

total time: 40

Ingredients

• 
  
• 3 cups macaroni cooked
• 1 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 4-5 diced green chiles that have been prepared* (or small can chiles)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Bring the macaroni to boil in a large pot of salted water. Cook, stirring every minute or so until the pasta is almost done - you still want some firmness to it as you will be baking it to complete the cooking.
2. Add the cooked macaroni to a dish, add the milk, chiles and the broth. Stir to combine and mix well. Adjust your seasonings, then add the cheddar cheese.
3. Bake at 350° for 35-50 minutes until bubbly and brown on top.
