Hello Friends! 

A new month has just begun! We just got back from a little road trip and it was so fun to see the changing colors of the season. Where we live, we do not see a lot of changes, but I did get a chance to take in some beautiful seasonal colors this weekend. This is prime casserole season and today I am sharing a fun favorite. 

Today’s Chill Relleno Casserole recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty make-ahead casserole. This time of year, I love cheesy, rich casseroles and this one does not dissapoint.

I have had this recipe for years and from time to time I change it up by adding bacon or changing up the cheese, but it is always so tasty!

This recipe comes together with just a few main ingredients:

Eggs– I like to use large Grade A eggs.

Green Chili – You will use the can vairiety but make sure you get Whole Green Chilis and not the ones that are chopped or diced. 

Cheese – I’m partial to Cheddar cheese for this recipe, but you can use a blend of Cheddar and Monterey Jack if you like.
