It's referred to Ancho or Chile Ancho when it's dried. The most popular recipe using them is Chile Rellenos. I've added additional recipes at the end of this one that are on the Blog.
Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
A Sheet Pan lined with Parchment Paper.
4 Poblano Chiles (cut in half lengthwise through the stem.
Clean out the seeds and membrane.
2/3 C Whole Milk
1/2 C Diced Onion
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 TBS Butter
3 TBS Flour
3/4 C Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 oz. Ricotta Cheese
2 oz. Taleggio Cheese, cut into small chunks
3 oz. Gorgonzola Cheese, cut into small chunks.
2 Eggs, separated
Place the Chiles on the Sheet Pan and Roast them for 7 minutes.
In a saucepan on medium heat:
Milk
Onion
Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil.
Remove and set aside.
In a small saucepan on medium heat:
Butter, heat until melted.
Add:
Flour
Whisk well.
Cook for a few minutes then add this to the Milk mixture.
Whisk well. It should begin to thicken.
Add all of the Cheeses:
Parmesan
Ricotta
Taleggio
Gorgonzola
Mix well with a wooden spoon.
Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
In a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer:
Egg Whites
Beat to soft peak.
In another bowl:
Egg Yolks
Whisk well by hand.
Add to the Cheese sauce.
Mix well with a wooden spoon.
Gently fold in the Egg Whites by hand with a rubber spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the Chiles.
Bake 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Enjoy!

I love this concept for making Chiles Rellenos. Traditionally they are battered and deep fried. This easy recipe sort of makes them healthier by eliminating frying.
I'm definitely a fan of the recipe and will make it often. I think it would be a great dish to take to a Pot Luck, Family Gathering or a Church Supper.
I decided to simply re post Ree Drummond's original recipe with out any changes. This one is a keeper in my recipe file.
She uses canned Chiles and I believe I will too. It was one of the appealing parts of the recipe. Recommended are Ortega Fire Roasted Whole Green Chiles or Hatch Fire Roasted Whole Green Chiles. I would buy a few cans to keep in the pantry.
You could change the type of cheese, Pepper Jack, Emmenthal, Swiss, Queso Quesadilla or even Cheddar will all work. I prefer a white cheese for this recipe.
After making this recipe, I will probably use more Chiles the next time. I'll cover the entire bottom of the pan with Chiles and the same amount for the second layer.
Lazy Chiles Rellenos / Ree Drummond
- 8 whole Roasted, Peeled, And Seeded Green Chiles
- 1-1/2 C Monterey Jack Cheese, Grated
- 5 whole Large Eggs
- 2 C Whole Milk
- Salt And Black Pepper To Taste
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.
Cut chilies in half and add a single layer of chilies on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Top chilies with half the grated cheese.
Repeat with another layer of chilies and another layer of cheese.
Pour egg mixture all over the top.
Place into a larger baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Pour in 1/2 inch of water and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until completely set.
Cut into squares and serve with warm corn tortillas!

What a good looking finished dish |
Tex - Mex Vegetarian Stuffed Poblanos:
- 4 large poblano chiles
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced (2 cups)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (1 tsp.)
- 2 large portobello mushrooms, coarsely grated (4 cups)
- 1 16-oz. can white hominy, rinsed and drained
- 1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
- ⅓ cup vegetable broth
- 1 Tbs. Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce, diced, 1 Tbs. sauce reserved (remember that Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce are very spicy, adjust the amount according to your taste)
- ¾ tsp. ground cumin
- ¼ tsp. ground coriander
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup shredded Queso Quesadilla Cheese, (Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese may be used if you can't get Queso Quesadilla) Queso Quesadilla has a mild, creamy flavor. This cheese is great for melting as it does not separate into oil and solids when heated, like some cheeses do. It’s a staple in quesadillas, which are actually named after the cheese. It’s excellent for grilling or just snacking. And, of course, it’s a favorite in Mexican dishes.
1. Broil poblano chiles on a baking sheet 15 minutes, or until blackened, turning occasionally. Cool, remove skins. Cut a slit in side of each chile; remove seeds.
2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 5 minutes. Fold in mushrooms; cook
2 minutes. Add hominy, tomatoes, broth, chipotle and reserved sauce, cumin, and coriander. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a 9'X13" baking dish with a Vegetable Cooking Spray.
4. Spoon 1 cup of the mushroom mixture into each poblano, and place them in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each chile with
1 Tbs. cheese. Cover with foil, and bake 15 minutes.
Enjoy!

Texans love homemade Pico de Gallo and today I found out why.
I went to the grocery store to get a small amount.
I didn't really need a lot for the recipe I was making.
It didn't look very good.
I bought fresh ingredients and made my own.
I didn't really have a recipe so here's what I did.
2 small Tomatoes, diced

1/2 a bunch of Cilantro, chopped
2 medium Jalapenos, diced.
