Chile Mac and Cheese 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.
