We thought this was good! It was my frist time making relleno casserole, so I followed the instructions exactly. I did want to point out, however, that I could not find 4 oz cans of whole chiles, so I just bought a big honkin' can of the suckers and used enough to cover the layers. The beauty part of this recipe is that it's super easy and quick to assemble, and fairly mess free. Served with sliced green onions, sour cream and salsa. Thanks for sharing!
