LOW CARB CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE



Low Carb Chile Relleno Casserole image

This was very good and much easier than stuffing the cheese into the chiles, but with pretty much the same flavor of the traditional method. If you don't care for hot food, you could use plain Monterey jack cheese instead of the pepper-jack. For myself I added more pepper.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 anaheim chilies, fresh
8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Steam the chili pepper for about 10 minutes until they have softened. You can also choose to char them instead. Let them cool.
  • Slice each pepper lengthwise, removing the stem. Cut the pepperjack cheese into 8 equal chunks and then stuff a chunk into each pepper. (I cut them to make them fit lengthwise.) Place in a greased casserole. I use a small lasagna pan.
  • Beat the eggs, cream and salt until blended, then pour over the peppers.
  • Top with the cheddar cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before eating.
  • Can be frozen.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: Poblano peppers are the traditional choice for chile rellenos, but you can also use Anaheim or pasilla peppers, which are milder in flavor. Look for peppers that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers is essential for giving them a smoky flavor. You can roast them over an open flame, on a grill, or in the oven. Make sure to roast them until the skin is blistered and blackened.
  • Handle the peppers with care: Once the peppers are roasted, they will be very hot. Be careful not to touch them with your bare hands. Use a pair of tongs or a kitchen towel to handle them.
  • Make sure the filling is cooked through: The filling for chile rellenos can be made with a variety of ingredients, such as ground beef, chicken, or vegetables. Make sure to cook the filling thoroughly before stuffing the peppers.
  • Use a light touch when assembling the casserole: When assembling the casserole, be gentle with the peppers. They are delicate and can easily tear.

Conclusion:

Low-carb chile relleno casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers. With its combination of spicy peppers, flavorful filling, and creamy sauce, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
