Instructions
Step 1
Roast chili rellenos (grill or broil method) and gently remove the skins.
Step 2
Slice chilies down the middle and open for stuffing.
Step 3
Fill each chili with cheese mixture reserving some for the topping.
Step 4
Turn the chili rellenos over, stuffed side down.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Step 6
Prepare sauce by combining all in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to combine flavors.
Step 7
Pour sauce over the rellenos, top with remaining cheese, and bake for 25 minutes until lightly brown and bubbly.
Step 8
Enjoy !!
Step 9
Just ensure the chilies are large enough to stuff and have a suitable heat level for your taste preference.
Step 10
Roasting chilies can be done using a grill, broiler, or stovetop gas flame. Place the chilies directly over the flame or under the broiler and turn them occasionally until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides.
Step 11
Once charred, place the chilies in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a lid, letting them steam for about 10 minutes.
Step 12
After they have steamed, gently rub off the charred skin using your fingers or a paper towel. Be careful not to tear the chilies while removing the skin.
Step 13
If you prefer not to use an oven, you can cook Baked Chili Rellenos on the stovetop. After stuffing the chilies, heat a skillet with a small amount of oil over medium heat.
Step 14
Add the stuffed chilies, stuffed side down, and cook until browned on both sides. Then pour the sauce over the chilies, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chilies are cooked through.
Step 15
You can also add more vegetables to the stuffing or sauce, such as corn, zucchini, or spinach.
