The file should come with a .img file - as noted in a stack exchange answer, "The ige file is just an indexing file to address large files that exceed 32bit addressing space. The file that you work with is the img." ( http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/55299/mysterious-problems-with-ige-file )
For NLCD 2011 data, I just drag and drop the IMG file into QGIS, and it opens right away, with the appropriate color pallet and such. If that doesn't work, maybe try re-downloading, as sometimes if a giant download gets interrupted it could lead to the file getting corrupted. Hope that helps!
