green chile casserole

Hatch chile relleno casserole with two different cheese and plenty of Hatch Green Chile. This Baked Chile Rellenos recipe is super easy.   We use canned chiles which makes it easy  for the perfect side dish or a meatless main dish.

Hatch Chile Relleno Casserole

green chiles

cheddar cheese (grated)

Monterrey Jack cheese (grated)

eggs (separated)

milk

Tablespoon Flour

Preheat your oven to 350° F and grate both cheeses if not already grated and set aside.  Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray. 

Seed the hatch green chiles, split them open and lay ½ of them in the bottom of the baking dish.

Add the grated cheddar cheese on top of the green chiles.  It may seem like too much but trust me, it’s perfect. 

Layer remaining Hatch green chiles on top of the cheddar adjusting so that there are not empty spots. 

Top the hatch green chiles with the pound of grated Jack cheese and even it out in the casserole dish.

Separate egg whites from the yolks with an egg separator and set the egg yolks aside. 

Beat the egg whites with a mixer in a separate bowl until stiff and then set aside.

Add the flour and milk to the egg yolks and mix well.   Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk, flour, milk mixture.  

Gently pour the mixture over top of the Hatch chile relleno casserole and spread it out evenly. 

Cover your casserole dish with aluminum foil and place in preheated oven.   Bake the casserole for one hour, covered, uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer to brown. 

Remove from oven and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. 

Has anyone froze this?  Wanted to know how it would reheat.  I used all Pepper Jack cheese was so good. Thanks

I just took this out of the oven and had 2 bites….SO yummy!  I can’t wait for dinner!
I added chopped cilantro and green onions to the top layer, but otherwise followed the recipe.  Thank you for a great recipe:)

I’m not sure where you get your poblanos but the ones I grow in my garden on sometimes so hot you couldn’t even eat them like that.

That was so good!  Now this is the only way we will make Chile Rellenos.

This comforting chicken casserole, that is loaded with green chiles is perfect for dinner. Easy to make with rotisserie chicken, and with a nacho-type topping, this casserole is delightful on a cold night!

Green Chile Chicken Casserole Recipe

T butter

onions

c milk or green chile sauce

oz cream cheese, diced

sour cream

Tabasco (a dash really brings out the flavors)

c cheddar cheese cheese

t cumin

garlic powder

t coarse salt

t smoked paprika

t oregano

3 c shredded cooked chicken

green chilies (canned

c cooked rice (spanish

Tortilla Chips (Any Flavor)

Garnishes: chopped cilantro, minced green onions, diced tomatoes, sliced avocados, sour cream, salsa

In a 10" cast iron skillet melt butter. Add onions and cook about 5 minutes on medium heat until they are translucent and soft. (They do not need to brown.)

Add milk or sauce, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, Tabasco, 1/2 c of the shredded cheese. Whisk together over low heat until melted and smooth and creamy.

Add in the seasonings and taste. If you think this needs more salt, do not be afraid to add it.

Stir in the chicken and chilies and taste again. Add the cooked rice. I admit to using a bag of cooked Spanish rice from Trader Joes. It adds extra flavor, but plain rice is good, too. And even no rice is OK!

Top with tortilla chips and sprinkle with cheese. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and then uncover and bake 15 more minutes until bubbly. Serve with your favorite garnishes!

Green chicle chicken casserole is a great dinner or game day grub! The boys would love this for sure- so much to love.
