Description

We love hatch peppers, but they're only in season August through September. So, when you can't get hatch peppers, get their delicious flavor from hatch pepper cheese that's available year-round! We bet you didn't know you could use it to make spicy recipes like air-fried cheese curds, poutine, and stuffed meatballs? Well, now you know! 

  1. Air-Fired Hatch Pepper Cheese Curds

    Our better-for-you take uses the air fryer instead of a deep fat fryer for crunchy and ooey-gooey hatch pepper cheese curds.

  2. Hatch Chile Pepper Chicken Enchiladas
