Chili Rellenos Casserole is another one of those recipes where most everyone seems to have their own favorite version. I like this one because it is quick to throw together, tasty, and filling! I usually serve it with flour tortillas, pinto, refried, or ranch-style beans, sour cream and Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Chilis, or salsa.

    *The ground beef makes it a bit heartier, but it can be successfully served as a main or side dish without it. Also, if omitting ground beef, another meat - such as chorizo - can be served on the side, if desired. *Let your own preference decide if the 2nd can of chilis will be mild or jalapeno.
