I do love a good chile relleno, but vary rarely order them with eating out. The traditional version isn’t the most healthy since with chile is stuffed with cheese and deep fried with that crispy masa coating. That is where this easy chile relleno casserole comes in.
This casserole is easier to make than the traditional chile relleno. It is all created in one 9 x13 inch baking dish. It is also healthier to eat because there is no deep frying is needed and there isn’t as much cheese as the original.
