Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chile Relleno Bake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious skillet set over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef with the finely chopped onion.
Step 3
Sauté this mixture, stirring often, until the beef is beautifully browned and the onion has softened, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain any excess fat to keep your dish light and flavorful.
Step 5
Next, take a 7x11-inch baking dish and lay down a foundation of one can of drained green chile peppers.
Step 6
Sprinkle half of the shredded Cheddar cheese generously over the chiles, then layer on the savory beef and onion mixture.
Step 7
Top it off with the remaining cheese and the second can of green chile peppers for that extra kick.
Step 8
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 9
Pour this delightful blend evenly over the layered ingredients in your baking dish, and don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 10
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and boasts a lightly golden top.
Step 11
Once it’s done, allow it to cool for a few moments before serving.
Step 12
This hearty casserole is sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds!.
