Easy Chili Rellenos Casserole

A cheesy, spicy, and effortless baked version of classic chiles rellenos—no frying required! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a comforting dinner.


🌶️ Chili Rellenos Casserole Recipe

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 35 mins | Serves: 6

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (4 oz each) whole green chiles (like Hatch or Ortega), drained & split open

  • 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

  • 8 oz Longhorn or sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1 cup cooked chorizo or ground beef

  • 1 diced roasted poblano pepper

  • ½ cup corn kernels


🔥 Instructions:

  1. Prep Oven & Dish: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8″ or 9×9″ baking dish.

  2. Layer Chiles & Cheese:

    • Lay half the chiles flat on the bottom.

    • Sprinkle with half of both cheeses.

    • Repeat layers (chiles + remaining cheese).

  3. Make Batter: Whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour over chiles.

  4. Bake 35–40 mins until golden and set (no jiggle in the center!).

  5. Cool 5 mins, then slice and serve with:

    • 🥑 Sliced avocado

    • 🍅 Pico de gallo or salsa

    • 🥛 Mexican crema or sour cream


💡 Pro Tips:

  • For extra heat: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne to the batter.

  • Make ahead: Assemble (unbaked) and refrigerate overnight. Bake 5–10 mins longer.

  • Gluten-free? Swap flour for ¼ cup cornmeal + ¼ cup almond flour.


Why This Works:

✅ No fuss—skip the tedious pepper-stuffing and frying!
✅ Crispy-cheesy top with a soft, custardy center.
✅ Customizable—add meat, veggies, or swap cheeses (try pepper jack!).

Great with refried beans and Mexican rice! Want a low-carb version? Let me know! 😊
