Stir together chili and tomato sauce in a large bowl.
Scoop a little of the chili mixture in the bottom of a 9 × 9 inch pan. Place a tortilla on top; spread on a few spoonfuls of chili mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Top with another tortilla, more chili, and more cheese. Repeat using all the ingredients. Sprinkle extra cheese on top, if desired.
Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours or all day or overnight, the longer the better.
When ready to bake in the oven, remove casserole from refrigerator; let sit for about 10 minutes while oven is preheating. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place 3 wooden toothpicks in the top so they stick out; cover with aluminum foil or parchment paper. The toothpicks prevent the paper from sticking to the cheese on top.
Bake the casserole 20 minutes; remove foil or parchment paper; bake another 10-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is hot all the way through.
Serve with topped green onions, if desired.
6 - 8 servings.
*Microwave instructions: If cooking in the microwave, use a microwave safe pan and DO NOT cover with aluminum foil; heat in 5 minute increments, allowing it sit 1-2 minutes between each interval, until melted and hot, about 15-20 minutes.
