WOWIE!! EXCELLANTE! So creamy! Definitely make again. Used only 1 can green chilies and 1 tsp chili powder and it was perfect for us.But will have to give it a try with both cans of chili when the kids aren't dining with us. Thanks for a great side dish.

Oh my goodness, this is so yummy! Tastes like something you'd eat in a restaurant. This will become a staple of mine. I'd double or triple it (13x9 pan) for an easy potluck contribution. I used 2 tsp of chili powder but would probably use only 1 tsp to serve to a crowd.

This was really good. However, I did not have 2 cans of green chilis. I had only 1 can of Ro-Tell and used that. Otherwise, really yummy. I added salt and pepper since the recipe did not call for any. I will definitely make it again.

I tried it and this was delicious! Tangy, spicy, creamy, cheezy YUM! I added some fajita beef to it and used 2 tsp chili powder and 1 can of chilis. I also used brown rice. Definitely will be making this often! Thanks for sharing.
