Hatch Green Chile Fest continues to reign supreme in kitchen stadium!

I figured for once you might appreciate if I finish an idea thread with all the associated recipes before running off on another tangent! I hope by now you aren’t bored with the whole Green Chili Festival thing! We have so many recipes to explore!
