Chili Relleno Casserole – Mexican Style

Chili Relleno Casserole is a Mexican-style casserole made with hamburger and green chile peppers. It produces a much simpler version of chile rellenos, which are simply stuffed chile peppers.

This may not be authentic Mexican, and may not taste exactly like chili rellenos, but it’s so darned good and I will continue making it again and again!

I like to serve it with Spanish rice and refried beans.

Cheesy Smoked Sausage Potato Casserole

Believe me, I’ve had my share of bland and even terrible casseroles. This Cheesy Smoked Sausage Potato Casserole is not one of them.

The smoked sausage gives a great smoky flavor to the potatoes and the creamy cheese adds texture that is just pleasing.

This is also a very economical dish. Perfect family fare without a lot of cost.

It can serve as a complete meal with just a salad and some crunchy bread and would feed at least 4 very hungry people that way.

But add a couple of sides like green beans and corn and it’ll feed at least 6 if not more.

Spinach and Cheese Manicotti

This Spinach and Cheese Manicotti is a great make-ahead party recipe. I like to spice it up with Italian sausage and crushed red pepper.

 

I have also subbed fresh basil for the parsley and fresh minced garlic in the ricotta instead of the powder.

I serve it with Italian bread and a tossed salad.

Whether you make those alterations or not this dish is restaurant quality. It can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight. Very filling.

Tips And Tidbits About Slow Cooker Cabbage Rolls

Here’s a simple way to separate and soften the cabbage leaves.

Cut the core from a head of cabbage with a paring knife. Place the cored head of cabbage very carefully into a large pot of boiling water. Cover for about 1 minute. After that time the outer leaves will begin to peel away. Gently pull them off with tongs.

After the first layer let another layer loosen and pull them off too. Parboiling allows the leaves to loosen from the head for easy removal. It also makes the leaves soft and much easier for rolling!
