Chile Relleno Casserole
- 8 poblano peppers (fresh, lightly roasted, and peeled)
- 1 (15 ounce) boxof trader joe's cornbread mix
- 34 cup milk
- 9 eggs
- 12 cup butter
- 1 lb shredded mexican cheese (I used Sargento's)
- 1 (12 ounce) bottleof trader joe's enchilada sauce
- Grease a 9x13 pan.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Prepare the corn bread batter according to the directions on the box EXCEPT use a stick of melted butter instead of oil.
- To melt the butter, heat it on 20% or 30% power for a couple of minutes.
- You dont want to overcook the butter, just melt until it is smooth and creamy.
- Dump the batter in the bottom of the pan and spread it around.
- It doesnt need to be smooth on the top.
- Lay the peppers on top of the batter.
- Sprinkle about half of the cheese on top of the peppers.
- Beat the remaining eggs (should be 8) and pour over top of the cheese, trying to distribute as evenly as possible.
- If you need another egg or two, go ahead and beat and dump again.
- Pour the entire bottle of sauce over top of the egg, again trying to distribute evenly.
- Finally, top the casserole with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes.
- You should check on it about 15 minutes before you expect it to be done to make sure the top isnt overcooking.
- If the cheese on top has browned too much and you are afraid it will overcook, lay a piece of aluminum foil lightly over top as a barrier.
- Using a glass pan allows you to check to make sure all of the corn break has thoroughly cooked.
- It should be a golden brown.
- Make sure all of the egg from the middle layer has been cooked.
