Great recipe! It actually puffed, just like the name said! I used homemade roasted green chilies, and they were very spicy. We loved it though. I used jack cheese instead of cheddar for the top, because I didn't have any.

Tasted great with roasted pasilla peppers (sans seeds). Used Monterey Jack cheese. Crowd pleaser!

Just made this tonight; with a side of oven baked baby back ribs. The BOMB! Cooked it for another 10 minutes to have it a bit more browned... Everyone loved it; it's a KEEPER!

This was the first time I tried this recipe. I added minced Kale to it (sprinkled over the chili's). What a wonderful dish. My children, who are somewhat picky, LOVED it and had seconds. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This will now be my "go to" recipe for Chili Rellenos Casserole.

I love this recipe..have made it several times with the original recipe, then tweaked it. 1/2 grilled peppers/ canned whole peppers to experiment, I love them both! Like using the fresh peppers grilled, char them to black, put in a bag and let them set for awhile, then peel and seed them. I combined the Jack cheese and fresh mozarella insideto be stringy! YUM! Puffy too! Thanks

This was pretty tasty! I have made a chile rellenos casserole for years and am on the lookout for the ultimate recipe. I roasted some fresh Anaheim chiles, and stuffed them (as per the recipe). The stuffed chiles make a big difference. My only complaint is that there is too much flour in the recipe--it tastes more like cream puff pastry dough than I would have liked. Overall, good recipe :)
