Chile Relleno Bake

We love Chile Relleno's, but they are usually fried. This Chile Relleno Bake give's all the flavor of a great Relleno, without the frying pan. I have added some more vegetables to the filling to give a great combination for this bake. I have used this recipe for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is a proven winner with our family. One of the features of this recipe is that it can be frozen for up to 3 months, we freeze the whole dish or individual servings. This is a great dish to bring a Mexican Fiesta into your home anytime.

  2. I LOVE chile rellenos, but have never made them because of the frying. This recipe sounds absolutely amazing, and I love the idea of eating this for breakfast. Yum!

  3. This is absolutely positively going on my menu. We make a similar Mexican casserole but adding those chiles would really make my husband smile. ;)

  5. Hi Helen...I love Chile Rellenos, but like you, try to avoid the fried. Pinning this to make in the near future. Due to a miscommunication, I have twice as many jalapenos as I really need planted in my garden, so I'm expecting a bumper crop. I may roast some of my jalapenos and sub for the canned chiles.
    Thanks for the great idea.
