Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chili Relleno Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.
Step 2
Next, evenly distribute a can of drained green chile peppers across the bottom of your prepared dish, creating a flavorful foundation.
Step 3
Sprinkle half of the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses over the chiles, then layer the remaining green chile peppers on top for an extra kick.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, and flour until smooth.
Step 5
If you prefer a creamier texture, feel free to add 1/2 cup of milk.
Step 6
Pour this rich mixture evenly over the layered chiles and cheese, allowing it to seep into every nook and cranny.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Step 8
After this initial bake, drizzle tomato sauce or enchilada sauce generously over the top and continue baking for another 15 minutes.
Step 9
For the grand finale, switch on the broiler and sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses on top.
Step 10
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbly.
Step 11
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven, let it cool slightly, and then dive into this delightful Chili Relleno Casserole that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
