I made it, it was great! I seasoned the ground beef a little with cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and of course salt and pepper. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This recipe is straight out of my 52-year-old Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.

Always use this at the end of the year when the garden needs a good harvest. We freeze and eat them when the weather get cold. Yummy!
Lisa Brown

We loved it! I did add garlic and taco seasoning to the ground beef as suggested, my dish was a square 10 × 10 and I needed 3 cans of the chilies. Baked for 40 minutes
Allison Norris
I follow the recipe except I use roasted poblano peppers instead of canned green chiles and use shredded Chihuahua cheese instead of the one in the recipe. I have also tried it with sliced onion…soo good!!
Nancy Ramirez
Delicious and so easy to put together!
Jennifer Campbell
Excellent!!! I did as another reviewer and used a 9×13 dish added more cheese ( I used pepper Jack and a blend of 4 cheese mexican cheese), taco seasoning to the meat mixture and a lot more peppers! It’s a keeper! Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Friends loved it.
Shannon Horton
I made this exactly as written but used 1/2 & 1/2 and whole milk only because I didn’t have enough milk. It was absolutely perfect! Will make again!
Lori Freeman
I made this but used rotisserie chicken instead. Turned out really good, but seemed more like a brunch dish to me, not a dinner dish.
Brandon Baxter
Fun, easy and veryy versatile
Matthew Walter
We are from new Mexico and this was a great reminder of the food we miss so much (with far less mess than chile rellenos!) Absolutely delightful!
Ashley Anderson
Awesome! I deviated a bit by using fresh chiles that I roasted here at home (used 2 Anaheim and 2 Poblano). I also added taco seasoning mix to the ground beef & onion mixture prior to assembling the dish. Other than that, I followed the recipe. Turned out great! Will definitely make again…and again…and again.
Jennifer Morales
We love this casserole. As requested, I’ll be making this again!
Joseph Fields
Nice simple recipe, I added cumin for a bit of flavor and an extra layer of chiles! Good stuff! Thank you for the recipe!
Carl Wade
i made this two nights ago and it was absolutely delicious and is being thrown into my dinner rotation. i doubled everything to make a larger casserole. the only things i’m going to change next time is swapping out canned peppers for fresh poblanos, and seasoning things a little differently. the canned peppers did have good flavor, but the texture was kinda off.
Jason Brown
Used 2 fresh roasted Pablano Peppers. The rest was just as written and it was a hit! Topped with sour cream. Served with quacamole, chips and salad. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing!!!
