Anaheim Chile Relleno Casserole with Red Sauce

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Casseroles

I came up with this recipe after i roasted my chiles, i intended on making real Chile Rellenos, but was too tired, this casserole is very tasty, especially if you use your own roasted chiles, it makes all the difference in the world. The red sauce came from Rick Bayless cookbook, i added a few spices to it to my liking. I know you will enjoy this, you can taste a hint of cinnamon in the sauce and it is a perfect blend of flavors.

 "Whole family enjoyed this, and so much easier to prepare than its namesake. I will forgo the cinnamon in the future, per the wife's request. Although in all fairness, I may have been a little heavy on it the first time out. I also had some Oaxaca cheese that found it's way in there somehow :-)" - headfirst

Anaheim Chile Relleno Casserole with Red Sauce Preparation

Clean your peppers of seeds and veins, cut in half width wise

In blender add eggs, milk, flour, salt, pepper, cumin and pulse a few times, do not over blend

Butter Casserole dish or grease, I use butter

Layer ? the chilies, then ? the egg mixture, then ? the cheese

Repeat layers, top with just a small dash of Cayenne if you like a little heat

Bake for 55 minutes at 350* then let rest for 15 minutes before you cut or it will be watery.

While casserole is baking, add the sauce ingredients to the blender and just pulse a few times, heat in sauce pan, bring to simmer, and simmer for 45 minutes.

    It had alot of flavor. It was easy to prepare. I would consider serving it to company even. I did add a dollop of sour cream on my slice.

    My grocer was out of Anaheim peppers so I substituted Poblano peppers. Tasted great. The sauce was a good choice, would've never thought of the cinnamon but that really completes the sauce.

    This is wonderful. My 3 year old daughter and my somewhat finicky husband loved it. I used 14 peppers and whole wheat pastry flour. I roasted the peppers from my garden in a skillet.

    OMG! Super easy and super yummy! It's a new family fav. I roasted my peppers on the grill first then made recipe. I have a convection oven. So dinner was ready in less than 30mins!
