Green Chili Baked Eggs

By Hklbrries

"There are hundreds of variations on this casserole. Spice it up with hotter chilies if you prefer. The original recipe calls for 4 cups grated cheese and 1/2 cup butter, but I think that's too much. Add more if you like. Serve it with corn tortillas, salsa, sour cream and guacamole."

Lorie Hutson
