    Definately a 5 star recipe. I added chicken, and made it into a full meal. My husband loves it (and doesn't even realize it's healthy!) - 3/18/07

    I really liked this but I wasn't sure if the egg mixture was suposed to be combined and runny, or beat into a foam. I beat it up but then I had way to much. I also added pork. I will make it again but i will probably tweek it a little. Also there was not bake temp so I asumed 350. - 9/12/08

    I made this and used enchilada sauce instead of the tomato sauce for a little kick! Great recipe. Thanks - 9/9/08

    Really nummy. I made it with fresh poblanos and low fat cheese. I whipped the egg batter until foamy (because that's what my aunt used to do with her chile rellenos) and used low sodium tomato sauce and a little cayenne. - 6/4/09

    I think I would enjoy making this one more than the chile rellenos my husband always likes me to make. The other ones are too time consuming and I need dishes that are easy to prepare for this hungry family. - 9/9/08

    Sunnie, in the grocery stores here, the whole chilies are in cans just like the chopped. They look very similar, so maybe you just missed them. I plan to try this recipe! Yum... - 9/9/08

    This is an amazing recipe! I sauteed a sliced green bell pepper in water until the pepper was just tender and the water evaporated (adding water as needed) and I added it to the recipe for some extra veggie filling. Next time I will try adding chicken and more veggies. - 7/19/12

    Both my husband & my son had seconds. My son--who does not willingly choose leftovers--ate what was left the next day. This will definitely be a keeper. - 7/7/12

    there is no mention of sugar in this recipe. I know that tomato sauce and evap milk both have sugar. What is the reason for this? - 1/25/11

    I made it sans tomato sauce and added some homegrown garden tomato salsa instead. Oh and I cut the eggs to only two. I don't care much for that eggy taste! But still a great recipe. Thanks! - 6/29/10

    I make a very similar version of this recipe, using the whole fresh Anaheim or poblano chiles. This is easy and fast to make, even without the canned chiles! Yummy, vegetarian dish our whole family loves! - 9/9/08

    Does anyone know where I can get whole green chilis in Southern Ontario? I can get the dice...I can probably use them instead. Can't wait to try this one. I LOVE Mexican since growing up near the Mexican border. It's getting a little easier to find Mexican foods here but took a while. - 9/9/08
