I also had to cut the recipe in half. I used a larger can of chilies than listed in the recipe. They were good but a little dry and didn't have a strong chili flavor. I might make them again and use more chilies.

I have made this recipe countless times. It is one of my very favorites. Always a hit: mini muffin or regular size, it does not matter. Easy, delicious. I wanted to see if they froze well, and they did!! Making them today for a children's writers' luncheon.
