How To Make chile relleno casserole

  • Step 1
    In a glass loaf pan that has been greased, lay strips of chile (see Preparing Chilis Recipe) on bottom. Add layer of cheese. Continue, ending with a layer of chiles.
  • Step 2
    Beat eggs, add milk and 1/2 cup flour and salt. Pour over layers.
  • Step 3
    Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
  • Step 4
    TIP: You can de-seed chilis. Leaving the seeds in is where the hotness comes from. This recipe tastes just like the fried rellenos but is much easier to prepare and less fattening! I have also bought the big cans of whole green chilis that can be found at Walmart in the Mexican Food Section.
