This is a great recipe that will feed several people. I make it when I'm with my family at the lake house... easy one-dish meal. I serve it with fresh hot tortillas and fresh hot sauce or pica de gallo.... my family just loves it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chile Rellenos is a classic Mexican dinner. Converting the dish into a breakfast casserole is genius. It's hearty and packed with so much flavor. In the Test Kitchen, we used the optional spicy breakfast sausage and feel it really added to the overall flavor. This is the perfect weekend breakfast casserole or would be great for brunch.
