chile rellenos casserole

 

 

This low carb chile relleno casserole will help you satisfy your Mexican food craving while watching your carb intake.  This recipe calls for either canned or fresh peppers (whichever you have).  I used diced green chiles because I had them in my pantry.  I have also made this low carb casserole with fresh poblano peppers and they were awesome!  I roasted them in the oven then let them steam and they were easily peeled.  Also, I have made this with and without the ground beef and it’s great either way.  

 

How to make low carb chile relleno casserole:
