Chili Rellenos Casserole is another one of those recipes where most everyone seems to have their own favorite version. I like this one because it is quick to throw together, tasty, and filling! I usually serve it with flour tortillas, pinto, refried, or ranch-style beans, sour cream and Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Chilis, or salsa.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
2 cans mild diced green chilis, or 1 mild and 1 jalapeno diced chilis
1/2 to 1 pounds ground beef, browned and drained (optional)
4 - eggs, beaten
1 can evaporated milk (5 oz)
2 tablespoons flour

How To Make tasty & easy chili rellenos casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease casserole dish.

Step 2

In pan, layer 1/2 of chilis, cheese and ground beef (if using) in the casserole. Repeat layers.
Step 3

Beat together well the eggs, canned milk, and flour. Pour over the cheese mixture. (If you feel additional liquid is desired, add a small amount of whole milk).
Step 4

Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes. Serve topped with desired condiments.
Step 5

*The ground beef makes it a bit heartier, but it can be successfully served as a main or side dish without it. Also, if omitting ground beef, another meat - such as chorizo - can be served on the side, if desired. *Let your own preference decide if the 2nd can of chilis will be mild or jalapeno.
