Oh my goodness, ladies and gents, let me tell you about this absolutely incredible Mexican dish that had my entire family fighting over the leftovers (not that there were many 😉). This Chile Rellenos Casserole is like a warm hug from your abuela, but with a modern twist that’ll make you feel like a culinary goddess in your kitchen.
Listen, I know we’re all busy trying to juggle life, work, and everything in between, but trust me when I say this recipe is worth every minute. It’s my go-to when I want to impress guests or just treat myself to something special after a long week.
Ingredients (because we need to get this party started):
– 6 large poblano peppers
– 2 cups Mexican blend cheese (don’t skimp on the cheese, honey!)
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic (or 5, I won’t judge)
– 2 cups enchilada sauce
– 1 cup Mexican crema
– Fresh cilantro
– Taco seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
Okay, gorgeous, let’s get cooking! First things first, char those poblanos until they’re blistered and beautiful. Place them in a plastic bag to steam (this is the secret to easy peeling, you’re welcome!). While they’re doing their thing, brown that beef with onions and garlic until it’s perfectly seasoned with your taco mix.

Now, peel those peppers carefully – it’s like giving them a spa treatment! Layer them in a baking dish, stuff them with that seasoned beef mixture, and shower them with cheese (because calories don’t count when you’re cooking with love, right?).
Pour that enchilada sauce all over like it’s liquid gold, and drizzle with Mexican crema. Pop it in the oven at 375°F for about 25 minutes, or until it’s bubbling and golden brown.
The result? A dish that’s going to have your family naming you the queen of Mexican cuisine. The peppers are tender, the filling is seasoned to perfection, and that cheese pull? Instagram-worthy, darling!
And here’s a pro tip from yours truly: serve it with some fresh avocado slices and a squeeze of lime. Trust me, it takes this dish from amazing to absolutely extraordinary!
