Green Chilie Casserole
- 2 (10 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
- 2 lbs shredded monterey jack cheese
- 3 dozen corn tortillas
- 6 california green chilies
- 12 cup milk
- Roast the green chilies in the broiler on high.
- If you have never roasted green chilies be sure to keep a watchful eye on the broiler.
- (Approximately 3-5 minutes on each side).
- The chilies can burn very quickly.
- Once both sides have lightly browned take out of oven.
- Place close to the sink.
- Turn water on cold let it run while you remove the skins, seeds and stems.
- It is much easier to do this step right out of the oven, even though it will be hot.
- So be careful.
- Place on a separate plate.
- Once you are finished using your hands tear into small strips.
- Using a non stick spray, lightly coat a 9.5x13.5x2 inch baking dish (approx 3 quart.
- Set aside.
- Get a sauce pan and pour both cans of cream of mushroom soup.
- Add a little of the milk (I just guessed 1/2 cup because I don't measure) until the "sauce" (soup) is not runny but not thick and lumpy.
- Find a happy medium.
- Put on a very low heat.
- While that is warming up start heating up the tortillas on the open burners of the stove.
- Only about 5 seconds on each side.
- Don't let the tortillas burn.
- Once tortillas are warmed and soup has gotten a little bubbly turn off soup.
- Have the cheese and chilies next to the baking dish and ready for the assembly.
- Using a ladle or big spoon, pour a thin amount of soup into the greased baking dish.
- This will help the bottom of the tortillas from being dry.
- Make two rows of tortillas, three for each row.
- Lightly coat the tortillas with soup then sprinkle generously with cheese and the strips of green chilies.
- Repeat until you have the top layer.
- You can garnish with green chilies, it makes it look, "interesting".
- (About 5 layers total).
- Bake at 350F until the cheese is bubbly.
- NOTE: If you are not a big cream of mushroom fan you can always use cream of chicken and add some shredded chicken to it like enchiladas.
- Either way, it's very yummy!
- (Probably not something you would want to make all the time though).
