What is a Chile Relleno?

This dish is not a traditional chile relleno dish which is a chile stuffed with cheese and coated in an egg batter and fried.

We are using the same ingredients but putting them into a casserole form. Instead of whole peppers we are used diced peppers.

Green Chili Egg Casserole

In addition to eggs, milk, cheese and green chilies, a key ingredient is Bisquick. Thanks to Bisquick you can mix up the night before and just pop it in the oven the next morning. If you live where Bisquick is not available you can use this substitute recipe.
