Have looked for a good chili Relleno recipe. This is it - but will do this as suggested by Susan - with the addition of ground beef, onion, garlic & Tabasco... you KNOW this has to be excellent - has all the right ingredients... Yum!!

I have used this recipe for many years. I got it originally from a Pentecostal ladies auxiliary cookbook. Somehow through loaning the book out, I lost the book. So happy I found this yummy recipe again.

 Charles (Arizona) says:
Excellent recipe. I used fresh roasted hatch chilies and added 1/2 lb. of pork chorizo meat to the cheese layers. Muy deliscioso!

This is the easiest and the best tasting recipe I have had. I only change one thing .....I use whole cooked rellano peppers from a can and they have just enough heat.

Wonderful recipe! I've been avoiding making rellanos for ages now because of the work... this casserole hits all the flavor notes, plus it's vegetarian, plus it's easy, plus it's DELICIOUS!

Great recipe! I added about 3/4 pound of cooked, crumbled chorizo sausage between the pepper and cheese layers. Really tasty.

 Susan Will (United States) says:
This recipe is similar to one my family has made for years that is always a huge hit. One big difference is that we add a 1/2 lb ground round and 1/2 lb sausage (or 1 lb ground round) browned plus an uncooked chopped onion (I add it to the meat when it's almost done so it gets a little translucent) between layers. Also, our recipe calls for garlic powder or a couple of crushed garlic cloves and several drops of Tabasco blended in the egg/milk mixture. (A substitution possibility is to use cream instead of canned milk.) We serve it with hot flour tortillas that many people fill with the casserole. My highest compliment was when my friend from Mexico said it was the best he'd ever had!

This recipe was a hit at my mom's 79th birthday brunch! I quadrupled the recipe, and I used pepper jack cheese instead of the two cheeses listed, and everyone loved it! Making chile rellenos one by one takes a long time to serve 15 - 20 people so making them as casserole is a great time saver!

 James (Missouri) says:
Great, we added a layer of ground beef in between the two layers.

 Joy (United States) says:
This is the best and easiest recipe I have ever cooked. My husband hates casseroles but loves this. Everytime I have to go to a function this is the dish I have to bring. Of course I have to double it because it goes over great.
