We just threw a huge New York Wine and Food Festival bash hosted by impossibly masculine celebrity chef Robert Irvine called Barbecue & the Blues. 16 NYC restaurants gave us their takes on BBQ, including Mexicue, who slayed the crowd with their Green Chili Mac & Cheese. Because we know you totally dominate your kitchen/kitchenette, we snagged the recipe for you.Ingredients2 tbsp unsalted butter2 tbsp unsalted flour 1 cup milk 1/2 cup heavy cream1 cup salsa verde1/3 cup roasted poblano pepper, chopped 8 oz cheddar cheese 8 oz monterey jack cheese 1/4 tsp ground pepper Kosher salt to taste 1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked al dente1.

Slowly add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to create a roux. Cook for approximately 5mins, stirring constantly. 4. Pour the contents of the pot into the roux and combine with a whisk. Gently simmer to thicken for 10-15mins. Frequently stir with a wooden spoon to prevent bottom from burning. 5. Stir in the poblanos and cheeses. Add the pepper and salt.
