JULIE'S EASY CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE



Julie's Easy Chile Relleno Casserole image

I remember making this easy recipe and loving it as a teenager. From the Family Recipe Box, a newspaper clipping taped to a card, no date but I know I collected it when I was a teenager and made it then (so around 1980).

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 quart cottage cheese
1 cup crushed Ritz cracker
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
8 ounces longhorn cheese, grated
8 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated
2 (4 ounce) cans mild whole green chilies

Steps:

  • Butter a large rectangular baking dish.
  • Mix cottage cheese, crackers, eggs, onion, and parsley and put half into dish.
  • Top with layers of grated cheese and peppers, then cover with remaining cottage cheese mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chile: Poblano peppers are the traditional choice for chile rellenos, but you can also use Anaheim, pasilla, or mulato peppers. Look for chiles that are large and firm, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the chiles properly: Roasting the chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the chiles over an open flame, in a broiler, or on a grill. Just be sure to keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Peel the chiles carefully: Once the chiles are roasted, you need to peel them. Be careful not to tear the chiles, as this will make it difficult to stuff them.
  • Use a flavorful filling: The filling for your chile rellenos can be anything you like, but it should be flavorful and moist. Some popular fillings include cheese, ground beef, beans, and vegetables.
  • Dip the chiles in egg batter: Before you fry the chiles, you need to dip them in an egg batter. This will help the chiles to brown evenly and will also keep the filling from leaking out.
  • Fry the chiles until golden brown: Fry the chiles in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will make the chiles soggy.

Conclusion:

Chile relleno casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chile relleno casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
