Chile Rellenos Casserole

[Guest guest]

Mmm....anyone for Mexican food tonight? This has a really strong

Mexican flavour to it, and quite frankly, at first I was sceptible of this

recipe because I've never been a fan of Mexican food. At least, ever since

we moved to Texas I haven't. Hehe. But this was DELICIOUS! And the " crust "

that is created around this dish during baking is just PERFECT! Adds a

really great touch, along with the chiles, of course, which are the " taste

point " of this casserole.

 

I might like to add, this is a rather flat casserole, so you MIGHT want to

make it as a side dish or accompaniment to a main course Mexican dish if

serving a lot of people.

 

Happy (Mexican) cooking!
