Comments

To halve recipe bake in a 9 x 9 casserole dish.

I sometimes use a 7 oz and a 4 oz. can of ortegas--it depends on who I'm cooking for. Don't get ortegas confused with canned jalapenos though!

Most recently I used 2 7-oz cans of chopped Ortega chili s, 2 8 oz packages Mexican blend grated cheese, and 1 8-oz package diced ham added at the same time as Ortegas. No matter what the variation it s always good. Just personal preference.
