For the Love of Chili Relleno

Need something easy and flavorful to make for dinner, but you’re tired of the same old casserole recipes? I felt the same way! That’s what inspired me to make this easy chili relleno casserole recipe. It’s a definite change of pace and super filling to boot!

My husband always ordered the same thing when we went out to Mexican restaurants for dinner. Chili Relleno. I was never a huge fan until I found this recipe. And as always I added my own flair to it! I like a little more spice and a smoky flavor.

Not Your Usual Casserole Recipe

Who doesn’t love a cheesy, hot, meaty casserole? But there are only so many times you can serve the same tater tot concoction. Am I right?!? With this recipe, you can have all the ease of cooking a casserole. But you’ll wow them with something new. And you won’t even have to go out to get the amazing flavor of a chili relleno!

Green Chilis ~ All the Flavor Without the Heat

There are many types of chilis out there. And not all of them are created equal. As I’m sure you know there are two distinct groups of chilis; HOT and won’t melt your brain. I prefer the latter. I actually like to taste my food thanks. This casserole recipe uses the more flavor, less heat green chili known as the Anaheim. The Anaheim green chili was brought to California from Mexico in the early 1900s and bred with more mellow varieties to appeal to the American palate. In other words whimps like me.

That’s why this casserole is ideal for the whole family. Even us wimps who don’t like hot peppers will like it! I hope your whole family will enjoy my easy chili relleno casserole recipe!
