This was good and definitely a crowd pleaser. I used crushed nacho tortilla chips instead of potato chips, doubled the green chili, and used less almonds. I think next time I'll throw in some of the crushed tortilla chips in place of the almonds.

My family loves this casserole. I omit the nuts and chips and add cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking. I love the large amount it makes.
