Ingredients to Make Low Carb Chile Relleno Casserole
You won’t need to use too many ingredients to prepare the Big Family Low Carb Chile Relleno Casserole. These are the ingredients you’ll need to have:
- Cream Cheese. Let the package of cream cheese sit out to soften a bit before you use it.
- Ground Beef. Brown your beef and drain it before adding it to the casserole dish.
- Fiesta Blend Cheese. The cheese gets added on top of the casserole and gives it an added touch of flavor.
- Green Chiles. Be sure to dice the green chiles into small pieces before you use them
You’ll only need a few other ingredients, such as eggs, salt, pepper, and cumin.
Which Brand of Cream Cheese Do I Need to Use?
You can use your favorite brand of cream cheese. If you’re not sure which brand to choose, both Philadelphia and TempTee are two top brands of cream cheese that taste excellent.
Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Ground Beef?
Yes, if you don’t want to use ground beef because you’d like to use a leaner meat, you can always use ground turkey. It will taste just as good with all the other ingredients you’re using to make the casserole.
Do I Have to Use the Fiesta Blend Cheese?
While the fiesta blend cheese goes great with the ground beef, chiles, and other ingredients, you can use a different blend of cheeses, including Mexican-style shredded cheese and sharp cheddar cheese. Use a flavorful cheese that melts perfectly.
What Low Carb Dishes Should I Serve with the Low Carb Chile Relleno Casserole?
Maybe you want to stretch this delicious meal. I’ve got you covered. I have lots of low-carb desserts and low-carb recipes and sides. Looking for a side?
