Lynette Romero, who shared a family recipe with Jessica last Thanksgiving, did so this year as well. But this time, she shared her husband’s green hatch chile cornbread stuffing dish.
The secret: the Romeros buy New Mexico hatch chiles when they are in season and freeze them for the perfect occasion.
After making the dish, Jessica hoped that she did the dish justice with her rendition, and that the KTLA Morning Show crew enjoys it.
