Chili Relleno Casserole
Description
This Chili Relleno Casserole begins by melting butter in a casserole dish and layering canned whole chilies on the bottom. A mixture of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses is sprinkled over the chilies. A smooth batter made from milk, eggs, and Bisquick baking mix is blended then combined with diced canned chilies and poured over the cheese layer. The final layer is more shredded cheese.
Baking at a moderate temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes allows the egg and Bisquick mixture to set into a soft, cake-like texture that envelops the chilies and cheese. The casserole captures the flavor and spice of chilies combined with the richness and melting texture of cheeses, creating a visually appealing and hearty dish reminiscent of stuffed peppers but simpler to prepare.
This casserole works well as a side dish or light main served alongside fresh salads or beans. The baked custard texture with pockets of melted cheese provides a satisfying bite with mild heat from the chilies.
