"In the fall I can buy already roasted chiles at the farmer's markets in Colorado. You can also blacken and peel your own chiles for this recipe. Use Anaheim chiles for a mild version or Sandia or Pueblo hot chiles for a hotter version. Printed in the Sunday Denver Post. The food editor states that she cut the cheese amounts in half and the casserole still emerged from the oven golden, bubbly and delicious!"
