Chile Rellenos Casserole brings all the classic flavors of traditional chile rellenos into one easy, baked dish. Roasted green chiles are layered with melted cheese and optional seasoned meat, then enveloped in a fluffy egg batter that bakes to golden perfection.
This recipe delivers the same comforting, peppery richness you love—without the frying. The chiles soften beautifully in the oven, while the cheese melts into every layer, creating a creamy, satisfying bite throughout.
Perfect for weeknight dinners, brunch gatherings, or casual entertaining, this casserole is both hearty and versatile. It can be made with or without meat, making it adaptable for different tastes and occasions.
