Easy Chiles Rellenos Casserole

A super simple Tex-Mex dish, this Chiles Rellenos Casserole is pure comfort food!

Chiles-Rellenos-Casserole

Where the typical chiles rellenos consists of stuffed and fried poblanos served with a homemade tomato salsa, this shortcut version is much less labor intensive. Whole mild peppers (right out of the can!) are layered on the bottom of a baking dish, then topped with a generous amount of Monterey Jack and cheddar before pouring on an egg and cream mixture. The last step is to drizzle on a small can of tomato sauce before baking. There is no way to mess this up! Of course you can use a homemade or jarred salsa in lieu of the tomato sauce, but for a quick meal, this is perfect.
