Pioneer Woman Green Chile Egg Casserole Recipe

When it comes to hearty and comforting breakfast casseroles, the Pioneer Woman's Green Chile Egg Casserole never disappoints.
Start your morning with a dish that’s both cheesy and packed with a mild kick from the green chiles.
Preheat your oven, mix Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, and distribute the green chiles generously.
The key trick to a perfect casserole is ensuring even layers of cheese and chiles throughout.
I enjoy this recipe because it combines simplicity with rich flavor, making it an instant hit at the breakfast table.
