We LOVE this recipe! I cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us and add chopped fresh jalapeño. I have made it several times.

Tasty. Followed the recipe exactly except had to use mozarella because Monterey Jack is not available where I live in England. Still, all in all an easy and tasty dish. Full size recipe makes a ton.

This was very tasty, and easy enough to throw together very quickly. I made a full recipe, though I did cut back a touch on the cheese and sour cream based on personal preference. My kids are a bit pepper-phobic, so I used pureed chiles instead of diced. The flavor was there, but there were no telltale green chunks :). We enjoyed this in squares as breakfast for dinner with some homemade guacamole and green beans, but I think the leftovers are going to be terrific wrapped up with some other goodies for a breakfast burrito. If I serve it in squares again I will likely add something for texture; maybe some sweet peppers (sorry kids!). Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 8: The Wild Bunch.

Wonderful! I also halved the recipe and used an 8 x 8 pan. I had one serving left and there's only 2 of us. We loved this dish and will make it often. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 8- Mexico etc.

Fabulous! I made a half batch in an 8x8 pan which seems like plenty to feed 4 to 6 people. I think the larger recipe would feed more like 8 to 12 people. I used super hot triple x New Mexican chiles and it was so freakin' good. I also used light sour cream and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the excellent recipe!
