This recipe for Chile Relleno is one of my go-to dinners in a hurry because I almost always have all the ingredients on hand:
eggs – check.
flour – check.
cheese – check.
half and half (or whole milk works great too) – check.
The other two ingredients: green chiles and tomato sauce are two great canned items to always have on hand.
If you’d like, you could add refried beans and Mexican rice as sides to this recipe in order to make your dinner feel more complete.
Here is a little step by step photo tutorial. This recipe is a no brainer.
Now, doesn’t that look good?! It puffs up in the oven right before you take it out. It’s so good. I hope you like it.

3 – 4oz. Cans Whole Gr. Chiles
1 – 8oz. Can Tomato Sauce

I'm salivating. Mmmm. I can't wait to try this.
Fantastic! I've been on the hunt for easy and cheap with #3 due to arrive soon. I want to keep the crazy to a minimum so this is perfect! And you caught me on grocery day, so I can pick up the canned chilis. (Everything else is something I normally buy too) Perfect!
Great for a cold winter night!
