You only need a handful of ingredients to make this delicious chili rellenos casserole. It’s perfect to serve for brunch, lunch, or dinner. No matter the occasion your family or guests are sure to ask for seconds (and maybe even thirds). Sounds good, right?
The key to this casserole dish is the layers. Start with the foundation layer of green chiles. Next add the layer of cheese and then pour the milk-egg mixture over the top. Cook the casserole for 40 minutes. Finally, add the layer of medium salsa and cook for another 15 minutes.
If you’re lucky enough to have any casserole leftover, it makes for a great second meal the next day. Save some chopped cilantro and green onion to garnish the top and add some extra flavor. For those who prefer less spicy dishes, be sure to use mild green chiles and mild salsa. Turn up the heat with hot salsa and hot green chiles.
