For a milder flavor, use mild Cheddar cheese or reduce the amount of green chiles. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Try adding a can of drained black beans or corn for extra flavor and texture. Spice it up further with a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce in the sauce.
