Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Place Anaheim peppers in a blender and blend, adding olive oil as needed to create a smooth paste.

  3. Heat cream in a pot over medium heat, stir in butter. Add Anaheim pepper paste, pepper Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Mexican cheese blend, cook, stirring constantly, until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.

Recipe Note

I made this recipe after seeing a spicy mac and cheese on TV. There was no recipe, so I just made one up. While it didn't seem very spicy to me, it came out delightfully creamy and gooey with just a hint of a kick.
