Easy Chili Rellenos Casserole image

This recipe is from The Winchester Star newspaper, Winchester, Virginia, from about 1995. This dish has the flavors of chili rellenos, without trouble of stuffing, dipping in batter, and frying, and a lot less fat! It's great as a side dish with tacos or mexican chicken. I have served it cut in 1" squares as an appetizer at a party, and it was a hit! I often double it, bake in a 9 X 13 pan, and take to covered dish suppers. If you wish to use fresh chilis, use 3 large mild banana peppers or anaheim chilis, roasted, peeled and seeded.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder.

This is a great recipe for a vegetarian chili rellenos casserole. I used black beans instead of ground beef and it was delicious.

I had some trouble finding poblano peppers, but I was able to use bell peppers instead and it still turned out great.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
