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. 

Chili Relleno Casserole RecipeToday’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.

timesaving tips to streamline recipes


  • You can make the casserole the day before and jus tpour egg mixture over when ready to make.

    I make it with chili verde instead of ground beef. Amazing with fresh avocado on top along with your favorite salsa. BreakfastLunch ( burrito) or Dinner this dish is perfect.

      Hi Cynthia, Yes you can but you may want to remove the seeds and membranes from the fresh green chilies before using them. Another option is to use the chopped green chilis if you cannot find whole green chilis.

    This is a great base recipe. Because I'm on a low sodium diet, I used fresh mozzarella instead of the other cheese, and turkey instead of the beef. I added all that you suggested, plus a little more for extra heat. I had 3 1/2 fresh poblanos that I had roasted, but also added a large can of chopped green chilies. I used extra creamy almond milk because I can't do milk. Some may think that I changed the recipe to the point that it isn't yours anymore, but it really is. I almost forgot the flour (again!) Yes, I have made this recipe before. I do think that the meat needs more seasoning. I can't do Mexican without a little cumin!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
