I got my peppers dried but think they are to hot to try to make that seasoning I was wanting to. Once they dried there really is not much there anyway. These are like Habanero hot or more! I do use Habanero's but not like this. I guess just grind them up and use in place of my cayenne. I hurt myself a couple times this weekend after cutting them up. Washed face really good in shower and when opened eyes oh boy! I cut up Habanero's all the time and never got me like this. If I grind them going to let sit for at least a day before opening. Amazon sells ground Hatch Chiles. Think go that route.

This might do:

I don't have experience with Hatch chilies.
I read there is about a dozen varieties ranging from mild to scorching hot considered "Hatch" as long as they are grown in the valley.
I grew a cousin called Anaheim, but didn't like them fresh or dried.
I really like Habanero not only for the heat, but the unique fruity flavor
 
There are hot and mild Hatch and while I consume mass quantities of Japs, the hot Hatch are TOO HOT for me!
 
I got some Carolina Reaper powder from Tropics . When I first got it , I stuck my finger in the bag and had a taste . Big mistake . Sat on the shelf for awhile , but after I figured out how much to use I really like it . It's hot but has a great flavor too .
I would think you could make your own blend with the hatch . Onion powder , garlic powder or whatever you like .
