Ingredients

For this delicious casserole, you’re gonna need:

  • 6 to 8 large green chiles, roasted and peeled
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or your favorite)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the dish)

Instructions

Now, let’s get into how you make this flavorful casserole:

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want that heat just right for your casserole to cook evenly.
  2. In a greased baking dish, layer half of those roasted chiles on the bottom. Go on, spread those out nice and even!
  3. Next, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chiles. Can’t have too much cheese now, can we?
  4. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Beat that mixture until it’s well combined and smooth.
  5. Pour half of the egg mixture over your first layer of chiles and cheese. Make sure it’s spread out nicely.
  6. Layer the remaining chiles on top, followed by the rest of the shredded cheese and then the rest of that egg mixture.
  7. Now it’s time to pop this lovely casserole into the oven. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a bit puffed up.
  8. Let it cool for a bit before slicing up that beauty. Trust me, you’re gonna love every bite of this dish!

Serve it up with a side salad or some warm tortillas, and you’ve got yourself a meal that everyone will love. Enjoy this Chile Relleno Casserole and get ready for some serious compliments, because your cooking skills are about to shine!
