Pioneer Woman Chile Relleno Casserole is a favorite of mine, and it's a favorite of many folks. It's also a great dish to take to out-of-town family reunions.
4-5 large poblano peppers roasted, peeled, and deseeded or 2 – 7 ounce can whole green chilis, drained
1 (8 ounce package) Pepper jack cheese cut into long sticks,
4 eggs
½cupmilk
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoonbaking powder
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
2 tablespoons cilantro (minced)
Instructions
Prepare your oven by preheating it to 350 degrees F.
Pat the peppers dry after washing. Place the pan under the broiler with the rack on the highest level. Increase the temperature to 500 degrees F.
Broil the peppers for 5-7 minutes or until the skin has charred, then flip them over and broil until the other side is charred. Cook until the peppers are completely blackened.
Place the peppers in a ziplock bag or paper sack after they have been taken out of the oven. Steam them for about five minutes to soften their skin.
Peel off the skin of one chili at a time from the bag. Cut the chili in half and remove the seeds and stem.
Roll up each poblano pepper with a piece of cheese in the middle. In a 9 x 13-inch pan or a 2-quart casserole dish, place the chilis.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the eggs before mixing.
Mix the eggs gently with the flour and pour over the chillies. Add the cheese to the eggs and peppers.
Bake the casserole for 20 minutes in the oven. Remove the Pioneer Woman Chile Relleno Casserole from the oven and serve immediately.
