Good golly miss molly is this recipe a keeper! I burned the inside of my mouth because I couldn't wait to taste it and so easy to make. Adore, thanks so much for posting it, I would highly recommend people give it a try.

I used Rotel on the bottom later and a small can of green chiles for the top layer which worked for me (plus it's a good way to get tomatoes into my diet). I did drain the Rotel a bit (thank you for the suggestion Chili) but I should have drained a bit more but I will most definitely be making this again.

Thank you gain adore!

We most absolutely can my friend (eta: I'm also thinking that zucchini bake recipe may be another one I may try in there)! I am brimming with ideas as to what else I can do with this base recipe!

Golly Miss Molly I knew this is a delicious recipe, and you loved it too.....Many thanks for your honest feedback!

(I am sorry you burned your mouth mtc, but totally understand why, and don't think pro chefs and cooks have not done that.....they have....We all have, at one time or another.

You are also always so very welcome mtc, and I am so glad you loved the recipe using the Rotel.

With all the different versions of Rotel offered today one can have this Chile Rellenos Casserole Recipe as mild, medium, or as hot as they like.

mtc if you ever add Rotel to a recipe do drain it all out very well. If you do not you may risk your recipe coming out a bit loose and soup like.

My Suggestion (Optional)...

mtc If you do want to use the Rotel liquid from the Rotel can you can add it into any liquid a recipe calls for, but ensure that the original amount of the liquid measurement from that recipe still remain the same.

BTW the Rotel liquid can also be placed in a freezer container and frozen for future use.

mtc you can also place the Rotel liquid into an ice cube tray.

When frozen remove the Rotel ice cubes and bag them in a zip lock freezer bag. Then use what you need, and reseal the zip lock freezer bag and contents for future use.

My recipes are time tested, fool proof, and guaranteed to please, and that is why many people love them...."whether friend, or foe".

That is why so many of my QVC Pals really appreciate them, receive requests for them, and when serving to family and guests, everyone loves them.

I really enjoy sharing and posting recipes for all my QVC Pals......of which you are also a very treasured member mtc.

I also love receiving recipes from our QVC friends too, as many are also accomplished in the kitchen.

I'll post more recipes when I return from our travels mtc, I promise, because soon we are heading out again.

Enjoy, and Happy Cooking.

mtc this recipe can be used as a base recipe and you can also add other items you prefer.

At times I also mix it up and add chopped baby spinach drained well and lightly sauteed in olive oil with caramelized onions, and sliced mushrooms.

Another creative change is to use seafood, or cooked diced poultry instead. (A bit lighter on the carbs and calories).

Use your creativity too mtc and you will be amazed as to what you can also create, using this recipe as the base recipe.

Hello Adore,

You are such a sweetheart! Thank you and your DH for your continued prayers. Things are not much better here but my coping abilities have gotten better with God's help and everyone's prayers. There are many stressors still present but right now, I am going to have to move forward with some surgeries that I have put off for almost a year now. I have carpal tunnel in both hands and worse in the right. I do not want to lose use of my hands and since things have stabilized to a degree here, I am going to get the first surgery set up soon.

I have every confidence this recipe will be stellar as all of your recipes are, girlfriend! With a husband who calls himself a "professional gypsy", I don't cook as much as I used to but we will be eating this soon; probably when the weather cools some as all that truly sounds good right now is salads. It's not so much the heat but that humidity is killer. On the potsticker soup thread, I wondered about using some chorizo as the meat. We don't eat it often but we do enjoy the spice of really good chorizo and we have a wonderful butcher in our neighborhood who makes the best. I do think it will be a great recipe to reinvent new versions of and will be one of those that will help "empty out" the fridge when I have a little of this or that-best recipes ever!

mtc-Thanks for reporting back so quickly. I can't wait to try this recipe. I plan on hitting the farmer's market on Saturday for fresh country eggs so may be making this in spite of the heat and humidity here!

Everyone please have a peaceful evening.

My dear, sweet friend,

Oh how we wish we could pray your pain away Mustang66lady!

I know how painful carpal tunnel can be as my dearly departed Father had it. Really painful and quite debilitating.

Please try not to fret too much, because medicine has advanced so much now, as opposed to when my Father had this painful carpal tunnel dilemma.

I know deep in my heart God will hold you in his healing hands, and you will be right as rain after you have the surgeries.

Mustang the truth is we are never really all.

God, his family, and all the Angels always watch over us, especially when we are grieving, or in a time of needing tender loving care, strength, and religious comfort. That makes me feel so loved, special, and cared for mustang, and I hope it also makes you feel the same way.

As for using chorizo sausages in this recipe yes mustang, please do....We have, and it always is so flavorful, and delicious.

You can also add this into the recipe and omit the beef above too mustang, if you would like to try it, and the various flavors appeal to you and your family:

Remove the casing from the chorizo and break it up in a fry pan sauteing it well. When it releases its fat and has cooked through strain the crumbled chorizo into a strainer, and degrease it by blotting well with a Bounty paper towel. Then set aside in a covered dish.

Wipe out the pan to remove the chorizo fat residue with another Bounty paper towel and add some olive oil into the pan. Add just enough to saute the following veggies and to also build individual flavors into the recipe.

I add diced onions and saute them until they have caramelized by keeping my heat very low, and constantly stirring.

When caramelized I add 5 cloves of roasted garlic freshly made and cooled off. Then I add sliced porcini mushrooms and let them also saute.

Next I return the chorizo back into the pan and add all the spices of cumin, salt, pepper, and I also add oregano and sweet paprika. I mix everything very well to incorporate all their delicious essence into the food.

Optional:

I also finish it off with baby spinach washed, dried well and slowly sauteed until everything has blended well, and the kitchen smells like Paradise.

Now it is time to add all of this sauteed deliciousness into the Chile Rellenos Casserole Recipe, and also do use a slightly larger baking pan.

Continue with the recipe above and follow the rest of the instructions.

Mustang the final result incorporating all the sauteed items into the original recipe was to experience great bursts of flavor bathing all the senses....and it was quite difficult not to pig out, and really overeat.

Only by God's grace did we maintain some resemblance of self control.

W knew the left overs would freeze well, and we would again enjoy this fabulous food soon enough.

mustang I hope you will try the recipe as it is written above, and try what I outlined regarding the additions of all the sauteed items, as well as adding in whatever you all enjoy.

Mustang the recipe is very forgiving, and everything really tastes delicious no matter what additions of foods are added.

mustang I hope my description gave you the enthusiasm you need to hopefully make this when you are better.

It is worth the time and minimal effort no matter which recipe version you decide to use.

Take care my dear sweet friend and daily prayers will continue.

We shall cyber chat again, before we leave for vacation mustang, and then again when we return home.

God Bless, and again we enclose hugs and prayers abound.

Mustang please read:

Thanks for the heart, but you heated me before I finished typing this.....so now I will page you so you do not miss what I also included above.

Hi adore! I am sorry I missed you before you left on vac but hope you catch up on this thread when you return!

Just loved it! Everyone did. I used a rotisserie chix on the bottom adding some adobe and southwest seasonings to the meat. Just yummy...and cheesy!

I am going to double the recipe and use the ground beef this next time for a large party for our DIL in August. We are expecting quite a few to celebrate the blessing that she got a teaching job! 600 applicants for 2 elementary positions! She was so blessed to get the 5th grade job. So we are having a party!

This recipe is as easy as you said! I put the main ingredients together the night before...then the next day...took it out of the fridge to get to room temp (so I wouldn't crack the dish!)...quickly added the egg/milk/flour mixture and voila! 30 mins...it was done!

Thanks much! I truly hope you had/have a wonderful, restful trip! Safe travels dear friend!
