Note
This pie can be made ahead of time and frozen. Wrap the baked pie tightly in plastic wrap and foil; freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
For a spicier kick, use jalapeños instead of mild green chilies, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blend.
Ensure the green chilies are well-drained to prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
Any sharp cheddar works best for this recipe; pre-shredded cheese may contain anti-caking agents that affect meltability, so freshly shredded is preferred.
