"If your family hasn't tried tomatillos yet, this crowd-pleasing casserole is a great way to introduce the green fruit. Don't let the papery husks intimidate you -- they're easy to remove (a fun job for kids). Pressed for time? The sauce for this dish can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator...."
