Chilies Rellenos Casserole Recipe



Talk about a throwback!! Can you believe, this is one of the first recipes I ever learned how to make when I moved out on my own.

I love Chilies Rellenos, but being a new cook, the whole process of making the “real deal” was intimidating to me.

I can’t remember now who gave me this casserole recipe or how I came across it, but I have used it from day one and continue to use it today. It’s super easy to make, the ingredients are readily available, it economical, and you get the flavor of the Chilies Rellenos without all the “work”.

It’s also one of my most shared recipes! I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine! I’ll show you how it’s done …

Chilies Rellenos Bake: FAQs

➡️ Can you make this ahead?

I encourage it! This is a great idea for meal-prepping so your mornings can be as fuss-free as possible! I like to make this, cut it into serving slices, and place the slices in individual containers. Be sure to use them up with 3-4 days.

➡️ Can you freeze this casserole?

Yes! Make sure it is wrapped tightly before freezing and use it within 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge. To reheat, zap it in the microwave until it is heated through.

➡️ Any suggestions to change things up?

If you are meat-eaters, feel free to add some cooked and crumbled ground beef or chorizo.

    I am making my second batch because we loved it!

  2. RG says:

    Just made this. It is GOOD. And EASY! I had freshly shredded Monterey Jack leftover from dinner the other night, so I put that in. I think freshly shredded cheese always makes recipes better. This is going in the recipe stash 100%.
