I found this Green Chile Relleno Casserole Recipes in a local newspaper more than 30 years ago and my family still loves it.
It is requested, “please make that chile cheesy thingy” at every family reunion and if fact, I make two pans and it’s the first dish to empty (may go to three next reunion??).
Tip-Also one important tip when making this is to be sure and whip the egg whites well, that makes a great consistency when you gently fold in the remaining ingredients
This green chile relleno casserole is so simple and it has an awesome flavor. But of course, how can you go wrong with loads of cheese and yummy hatch green chiles.

This is so good. I tried it last night and it was so easy!
How crazy is it that I see a picture of a dish that looks yummy on Pinterest and when I click on it…up pops a picture of my long lost bff and her husband. Y'all look amazing and I can't wait until your travels bring you to southwest LA. And can't wait to try your Chile Relleno Casserole. Thank you my friend.
Hello My Friend! Yes, you are definitely on our list of stops. Enjoy the Chile Relleno Casserole (you may have tried it years and years ago, lol)
Oh crap, I just drooled on my shirt! Yum..
Thanks so much for sharing
I am visiting from the Uncommon Designs party! This looks so wonderful!! I lived in New Mexico when I was little. I ate chile rellenos from the time I was about 2 🙂 My mom would roast chiles that we would get from chile farms and make rellenos and enchiladas. Such good memories, thank you so much for posting this. I will pin and give it a try!!
Oh my goodness I was just looking at your other posts and I see you lived in New Mexico 🙂 That's awesome. I grew up in Silver City.
Hope you enjoy it:) Silver City is not that far away. Great food always makes great memories.
Yum! That sounds very tasty.
This looks so good! I know my family would destroy a pan in no time (myself included). Absolutely putting this on the menu.
Oh this sounds really good!
I think you got it right when you said how could you go wrong with cheese and green chillies!!! Precisely, lol. Thanks for sharing
I love spicy!!!
This is so amazing! In fact I better tell my husband I made it up or he'll be stalking your blog for more recipes
This is so good I can't stop thinking about it!
So how about you move up to Iowa and cook for us? 😀 You are amazing. Thanks for sharing
This looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing this yummy recipe
Oh, this looks so delicious!! I'm addicted to cheese and I love chilies too so this is right up my alley. I'm putting chilies on my grocery list right now.
My fiance would love this!
Thanks
I love this idea! We usually make them one at a time, but this would be so much faster! Plus, we pour lots of enchilada sauce on top!
My hubby would love this! I need to try it soon.
Hi Evelyn,
Your Chile Relleno Casserole will be a really big hit with our family, we just love a great Tex Mex Casserole. Hope you are having a great week and thank you so much for sharing
Yum again. Geez girl … you obviously can cook. although I think I just gained 5 lbs just for looking at the pictures 🙂
Hugs,
Bj
I made this one and it was easy and so good.
Looks delicious. I love chile relleno, but I think I'd like to 10x more as a casserole.
Thanks so much for sharing I love chile rellanos, this casserole is delicious.
I love this chili relleno casserole! This is the recipe that I make all of the time! Thanks
This looks great! My husband loves Chile Rellenos, so I know he would love this casserole!! Thanks for sharing
I love spicy! This is right up my alley! Thanks so much for sharing.
This was AMAZING! Chili rellenos are my favorite and being able to replicate that taste so easily is right up my alley!
Sooo yummy!
That was so good! Now this is the only way we will make Chile Rellenos.
This looks great! I will be making it, but have a couple of questions. The description mentions an easy chile rellano sauce, but I don’t see ingredients or instructions for that, am I just overlooking it? Also, do you use the egg yolks in this, or just the egg whites?
Thank you so much!!
I don’t believe I mentioned chile rellano sauce only Chile Relleno Casserole. There is no sauce, the chiles provide all the chile flavor that you need. Pinky Promise
Thank you so much for the quick reply. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing amything. This us what it said right above the recipe “Hatch Green Chile Relleno Casserole
Green chiles layered between two different kinds of cheese and topped with an easy Chile Relleno sauce.”
So I thought I might have been missing it 🙂 Thank you for sharing, I’m going to get the stuff to make it this weekend for my Mom on Mother’s Day. She recently had a stroke and can’t cook anymore, so I’ve been cooking for her and she used to make something very similar, so I know she will love it. Thank you again.
Oh ok I see what you are talking about now. That is definitely a typo by me, I am correcting it now. Thanks for letting me know. Also one important tip when making this is to be sure and whip the egg whites well, that makes a great consistency when you gently fold in the remaining ingredients. And a very Happy Mother’s Day to your mom.
Hi Evelyn, could you clarify if the egg yolks are used when beating the remaining ingredients or do you discard
The egg yolks are used in the batter with the milk and the flour just prior to beating and adding the egg whites. The egg whites create a fluffy consistency after it is added to the batter last. I do need to update and make this more clear. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank-you, can’t wait to try
