Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 can(s) whole green chiles, mild or hot, 10 oz
2 can(s) diced green chiles, 4 oz
1 lb block colby jack cheese, cut into finger-size strips
12 oz shredded colby jack cheese

5 large eggs
1/3 c baking mix (bisquick)
1-1 1/4 c milk
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp ground cumin
OPTIONAL GARNISH:

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a large rectangular glass baking dish (9×13) with cooking spray.

  • 10. Bake covered for 40-45 minutes.

This casserole was a disaster! It was dry, bland, and fell apart when I tried to serve it.

The casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I found that the casserole was a bit dry. Next time, I'll add some more salsa or enchilada sauce.
