Ok. Please stop what it is you are doing right now. Get off your phone or computer. Go find your shopping list. And add ‘Hatch Chiles’ to the list.

While I thought these peppers were just sold in stores in the southwest, I have heard and seen reports of them being found as far away as Cleveland, OH.

So….LOOK for them.

And then buy a bunch and roast them. {Instructions on how to roast hatch chiles.}

And freeze them after they’ve cooled down from their roasting experience. Then you’ll have green chiles for a while and you won’t need to buy any from the can.

And you’ll have them to make this grilled cheese.

Be warned: you might drool.

You’ll definitely salivate a little more than you normally do when you have a grilled cheese because hatch chiles are spi.ceeeee.

But the delicious creamy and smoky cheese slices will balance the spice perfectly in this grilled cheese.

I dare you to try it. You won’t regret it.

(It’s like high school peer pressure. But with grilled cheese. And we’re adults.)

I hope you love it as much as I did!
