     Awesome!!! Made it last night with steamed fresh chilies. My husbands favorite meal at a mexican resturante is Chile Rellanos and he was thrilled by this. I also added extra lean ground beef and some pinto beans on the side. - 8/12/11
  • LINDADIETS
     Great recipe as is. I add ground beef per family request. add to pan of sautéed onion and garlic. When browned add 2 pkts. Sazon, cumin and oregano to taste. Add the beef after the 2nd layer of chilies and before the cream, eggs and salt. Add cheddar. Cook in 8X12 pan or dish. Same time and temp. - 7/24/14

     I use 4-6 Poblano Peppers, roast them, skin them, deseed, and then fillet them and I only use 2 eggs, but a whole lot more cheese. This is a sinful dish for me! But, it is Awesome! - 6/18/10

     I would have to use fresh chilies too since we do not get canned ones. - 8/15/19

     My favorite Keto recipe, by far! Tastes as good as a Chile Relleno without all the fuss. Cut into hors d’oeuvre-sized pieces, this would be great to take to a party. - 7/8/18

     OH MY HEAVENS!! We made this tonight and it will DEFINITELY go into our menu rotation!! We did add ground beef, so the nutritional value did change, but not enough to really make a huge difference or to scare us off :) Thanks for sharing!!! (the kids loved it as well) - 1/24/18

     Super simple recipe, and probably the BEST chile rellenos I've in a long time! Can't wait to make this for the rest of mi familia! - 6/3/12
  • CD12391778
     Very tasty - esp IF you're wanting mexican. I didn't have enough of the green chili's, so I added some red & orange peppers that I chopped up to make the difference.

    i also added some low sugar taco seasoning - just sprinkled over the top before adding the cheese.

    I did have to cook longer - 5/18/12
  • TCASS1977
     Was great but had to cook it an additional 15 minutes. Not sure why, I followed the ingredients but added cooked ground turkey. No problem still amazing chili relleno quiche. May omit half the cream next time and make stiff peaks. Just an idea though.
