Hello! I made this Chili Relleno Casserole for my brother and SIL to enjoy in the ravenous, zombie-like state that comes from having a new baby and a 3 year old. I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to remember how delicious it is so I’m sharing the recipe with you! (That won’t help them remember but it will help me remember how to make this again.)
I made this -> Chili Relleno Casserole Recipe with rice a long time ago. It was a BIG hit and I was really happy with how it came out. But I served that Mexican inspired casserole for dinner.
This one seems more appropriate for breakfast (or lunch or a snack or dinner too I guess). Serve it with tortillas for a delicious make-ahead breakfast.
The whole green chilis from a can aren’t usually hot / spicy at all. But a few companies do sell cans that are “Hot” but it will say it on the can. (Most of the ones at the store are “Mild”.)
You can control the spice and flavor by adding Cholula / Tapatio or a similar hot sauce to taste. Green salsa would would great too.

You are so awesome for taking them food! I think I age PB&J and mac&cheese every day for weeks after having mine. Not that I’m complaining, both are my “go to” comfort foods. 😀 Anyway, just popped in to say what a wonderful red-head Monican you are!
I love that it’s spicy! Sounds delicious!
