I made it exactly to the recipe as written. Wow! Then I read the reviews and there are a lot of other things to do. I was leary of using the big pan (too spread out) but did because of the cooking time. I did not think plain tomato sauce would do anything for this recipe, but it did!!! I have a similar recipe (I think), making 2 casseroles but I like the flat dish version .... easier to cut up and serve. I need to find that recipe (over 30 years old) and compare the two. I will be making this a lot .... we love it.

I love this receipe because it only takes a few ingredients and most of which I always have on hand. My husband likes it, which is a big plus and it only takes an hour from start to finish. Accompany with spanish rice and beans for a full meal. This is a keeper!

If you like quiche, you will love this. This reminds me of more a breakfast dish than dinner. My family did not like it.

I agree with my fellow cooks to use a smaller pan. It spreads out too thin. I would omit the tomato sauce because there is no need for it and it makes the dish too salty for my taste. I rinsed, sliced the chili's and removed the seeds. The other ingredients are fine the way it is. I added the last cheeses and baked it longer. I like mine a little more cooked.

I think it is better with fresh home roasted Poblano chili's. Only takes 5 minutes under the broiler turning Chili's with tongs till they blacken. Then throw them in a paper bag to steam. Easy to peel. I used 6 for a 8x8 pan. The enchilada sauce is a must. I used a Lawry's Enchilada spice package with a small 8 oz can of Hunts tomato sauce. Was very mild. Victoria in the glass jar has a bit more of a kick. Used 3 eggs. DEFINITELY separate out the yolks and whip the whites till they are fluffy. Then blend the yolks, flour & milk together and fold it into the whites. Makes a big difference. I only had 2% milk so I reduced the amount a little. Can see how the evaporated would make the casserole richer but it was still good without. Add sliced black olives & chopped green onions on top. Was really delicious. Wonderful that you don't have all those calories in there from frying.

This was pretty good and very easy. I had fresh peppers to use so roasted, steamed and peeled them first.(Had three and cut recipe in half.) Didn't do any sauce but it needed some enchilada sauce. NOT plain tomato sauce though!

Fantastic with some changes. I aggregated a number of suggestions in other reviews and this is a (altered) recipe I'll be adding to my weekly meal plans. I used 9 X 13 pan, spray with Pam, Use 27 oz mild green chilies sliced open to lay flat. I put shredded chicken and sprinkled Cumin on before cheese then another layer of chilies, chicken cumin. Used four eggs, all evap milk with flour mixed in--poured over top. In oven as directed for 25 min. Used green enchilada sauce (what I had on hand) and baked another 15 min. Sprinkled rest of cheese and sliced olives on top--another min in oven to melt. Took out and let rest about 10 minutes. Sprinkled chopped green onion on top and served. YUM YUM YUM Boyfriend puts HOT HOT salsa on everything and he didn't with this one (said it didn't need it) and went back for three servings and when I asked if I should it make again, he said "Heck yeah!"

It was ok, but a little too flat since it's just cheese and canned peppers. Wish it had more fresh ingredients for nutrients and thickness.

Such an easy recipe for such a great tasting result! It gives you all the wonderful flavor of chile rellenos without the work of the original thing. As written, it has a lot of fat and I needed to lighten it a little bit so I used low fat evaporated milk, none of the regular milk and used low fat cheese without noticing a loss in flavor. I will try egg whites next time but used 3 whole eggs this time. I did add a little more cheese to the top so that negates some of my efforts but it did taste great! Also I added sliced black olives to the top since we like them. I thought the tomato sauce was fine but will try mixing it with a little enchillada sauce next time.
