My Version Of Chile Relleno Casserole Food

EASY CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
• Open up the cans of whole chiles and drain completely. If they are not already open, slit one side of each chili with a knife and remove all the seeds from the center.
• Layer the chiles in the pan, covering the bottom. Use half the chiles, about 10 ounces.
• Top the chiles with 1/2 cup each of shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack Cheese, and Pepper Jack cheese.
• Repeat. Layer the remaining chiles on top of the cheese, top with 1/2 cup each of the cheeses.
• Meanwhile in a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together 8 eggs, 1 cup evaporated milk*, 2/3 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and chiles.**
• Bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes. You will know it's done when the top is puffy, the edges are golden, and the center doesn't wobble more than the edges when you shake the pan.
• Let set for about 5 minutes and then serve!

CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler until charred all over, turning as necessary, about 8 minutes. Put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, remove the stems and run under cold water to peel off the blackened outer skin and remove the seeds.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put 1 piece Colby Jack cheese in the center of each pepper. Pour half of enchilada sauce into an 8-inch square baking dish. Put half of the cheese-filled peppers on top of the enchilada sauce. Repeat with the remaining sauce and peppers.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl until very frothy. Whisk in the Cheddar, milk, flour and baking powder. Gently pour the mixture over the peppers and sauce in the baking dish.
• Bake until the casserole is set in the center and golden brown all over, about 1 hour. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

MY VERSION OF CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut chiles in half and remove seeds (use plastic gloves: seeds are hot).
• Cut Velveeta into thick strips.
• Line half the chiles in a buttered 1-1/2 qt casserole. Fill them with cheese strips and cover with the other matching halves. Sprinkle with cilantro (I use a lot).
• Beat eggs about 5 minutes, or until they are foamy.
• Mix flour thoroughly with baking powder; add to eggs. Add milk and mix well.
• Pour this over chiles and sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese.
• Bake @ 350 F for 35-40 minutes. A few minutes before casserole is ready pour soup over it and put back in the oven.
• Serve (hot or cold) with salsa (Herdez is my all-time favorite) and a blob of sour cream, sprinkling some cilantro on top-because there is no such thing as too much cilantro!
