Instructions 

This is an overview of the instructions. For complete directions, scroll down to the bottom.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the casserole dish with non stick cooking spray, set aside.
2. Open the canned roasted green chiles. Drain well, then place on paper towels. Blot to dry.
3. Slice the jack cheese into planks. You'll want an equal amount of cheese planks and chiles.
4. Carefully stuff a piece of cheese into each green chili. Then place the chiles in a single layer at the bottom of the casserole dish.
5. Next, separate the yolks and whites of the eggs into mixing bowls.
6. Add the milk, salt, pepper and bisquick to the egg yolks, then whisk to combine.
7. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer whip the egg whites until soft peaks form and the egg whites are glossy.
8. Now combine the egg mixture with the egg whites. Whisk until they are combined. Pour over the stuffed green chiles.
9. Top with the shredded cheese and then place in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

FAQ's

Test kitchen tips

• Freshly shredded cheese will give you the best melt on this traditional dish. You can use the pre-shredded kind, however, I think to get the best gooey melted cheese on top of this dish, you will need to use freshly shredded. 
• I've found that whole milk will give you the best fluffy egg batter for this main dish. You can use other types of milk, but whole milk works best. 
• Looking for the perfect garnishes for this chile rellenos casserole? Sliced green onions, pico de Gallo, or a dollop of sour cream all work great on top of the casserole. 

Variations

• Next time try using a different blend of cheeses. A mixture of cheddar, Monterey jack, and pepper jack cheese will also taste amazing on top of this dish. 
• Are you feeling adventurous? You can make your own roasted peppers by roasting poblano peppers over an open flame for 2-3 minutes on each side and then steaming them in a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap for 10 minutes or until the skin softens and you can easily peel it off. 
• Do you like to use extra spices in your casseroles? Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or your favorite spices to your egg yolk mixture before you add the whites.

Storage

Refrigerate - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezer - Allow the casserole to cool completely before wrapping it in aluminum foil and freezing for up to 3 months. 

Reheat - Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until heated through. You can also reheat individual servings in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm all the through. However, I recommend that you reheat it on 50% power to prevent the egg from drying out.
