Print Recipe

This Easy Chile Relleno Casserole is a simplified version of the classic Mexican dish, featuring layers of green chiles, cheese, and an egg-based batter, all baked into a comforting, cheesy casserole.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cans (7 oz each) whole green chiles, drained
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer half of the green chiles in the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses over the chiles.
  4. Repeat with the remaining chiles and cheese.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered chiles and cheese.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, use roasted poblano peppers instead of canned green chiles.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or avocado on the side.
  • Can be prepared ahead and reheated for easy meals.
