Chile Cheese Squares

Submitted by PaNik

"This is a family favorite and it is very easy to make. We originally discovered it as an appetizer, but I think it is great for brunch. I also make it just for myself and freeze the squares to have for lunch in the future. The recipe is very open to substitutions. Fresh green chiles can be used if you happen to live where you can get them and the recipe can probably be made without them or with any amount according to your tastes."

I made this to go with some chili I made today, and it certainly did the trick! Couldn't have found anything more appropriate to serve, and so easy! Thnx for sharing your recipe, PaNik!
