Chiles Rellenos Casserole Recipe

This is a simple style American Mexican-style casserole called Chilies Rellenos the kids loved when growing up and a cheater version of the "real deal".

It was exciting to see this bake all together like a Mexican-style potpie that's what it reminded everyone of when I served this.

The authentic version is a poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and then dipped into an egg batter and deep fried.

They are delicious, but takes a bit of work to get them just right and with my busy schedule, this casserole is the perfect solution to meld all those flavors we love.

The Chilies Rellenos is a popular dish in Mexican cuisine that originated in the city of Puebla.
