Front Burner

I ran across this recipe in an advertisement on the inside cover of a foodie magazine.  Like many other "simple" recipes I find, I knew I had all the ingredients on hand and decided to whip it up for lunch one day.  A nice warm quick and easy meal that would be perfect for a lunch guest or a brunch.

Cheddar Green Chile Egg Casserole
