Tips:
- Choose the right pork: For the best flavor and texture, use a pork shoulder roast or pork loin roast. These cuts are well-marbled and will stay moist during the cooking process.
- Use fresh green chiles: If you can, use fresh green chiles instead of canned. They will give the casserole a more vibrant flavor.
- Don't overcook the pork: The pork should be cooked until it is tender, but not dry. Overcooked pork will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in this casserole. A good combination is cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This casserole is great served with rice, beans, or tortillas.
