How spicy is this recipe? How do I make it more or less spicy without dramatically changing the flavor? Thanks! :-)

Hi Susan C.! I used mild hatch chile peppers which are almost no heat. (If they are out of season you can substitute with one large green bell pepper.) If you wanted to make it spicier I would add a pinch or two of cayenne or a jalapeno chopped with the seeds and ribs left in.

What kind of cheese did you shred on it? Looks delish.

Hi DeirdreMS! It's an aged white sharp cheddar.
