I have changed this up a little by chopping my chilies up and mixing in a can of rotel and kidney beans. YUM!

My husband and I loved this dish !!! I did change it a bit though. I didn't use the flour, eggs, milk and water. I just layered the chilies, meat and cheeses. Then baked it until melted and bubbly. We also used tortilla chips and ate it as a dip ! Delicious!

I had a good feeling about this recipe and I was right... it's terrific and comes together in a snap! I love chile rellenos but not the bother of making them. This will fill my craving for them at home and I will just wait until I go to a restaurant for the real deal. Thanks BC and welcome to Zaar!
