Egg and Chili Casserole

I am not sure if this one really counts. I am not sure how freezable it is, but egg casseroles usually reheat well.

I have all these hatch chili peppers and have been trying to find ways to use them. I found the recipe for egg and chili casserole on a blog that was link to my sisters. Now, this person claims to be able to stick to a $200 a MONTH grocery budget, so I was wary, but like I said, I have all these peppers...

It was ok. I made a half recipe and baked it in a smaller pan. I also added 5 strips of bacon and called it a fritatta to appease you-know-who. It turned out a little thin, so I might add more eggs next time. The flavor of the peppers were completely overwhelmed, but a little more salt or pepper might help that. James LOVED having eggs for dinner so I will probably make some variation of this again. We didn't end up with much leftover, but if I did, I was going to use that to make breakfast tacos.
