CHILES RELLENOS MINI CASSEROLES
This recipe came about by accident 20 years ago. My sons had begged me to hurry up with breakfast so that we could play a game of catch. I whipped this up, spent time with my sons and then we all enjoyed our own spicy fun "casserole".

- Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler until charred all over, turning as necessary, about 8 minutes.

- Bake until the casserole is set in the center and golden brown all over, about 1 hour. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Tips:
- Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for peppers that are dark green, smooth, and have a firm texture. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
- Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers helps to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skins are blistered and blackened. Then, transfer the peppers to a paper bag or bowl and let them steam for 10-15 minutes. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins.
- Be careful not to overstuff the peppers: Overstuffing the peppers can make them difficult to cook evenly. Aim to fill the peppers about ¾ full.
- Use a variety of fillings: There are many different fillings that you can use for chiles rellenos. Some popular fillings include cheese, beans, rice, and meat. You can also get creative and use other fillings, such as vegetables, seafood, or tofu.
- Cook the chiles rellenos properly: Chiles rellenos can be baked, fried, or steamed. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose. Be sure to cook the chiles rellenos until they are heated through and the filling is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Chiles rellenos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make chiles rellenos at home that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite Mexican restaurant.
