I had some awful chile relleno in the south while traveling this past
summer. They weren't stuffed peppers, they were some kind of meat slop
that looked like dog food, and only had chopped chili's in it. No egg
coating, no cheese & sauce on top. What a letdown that was!!!
We are blessed to have a great small Mexican restaurant here in Dover
that has great chili rellenos. I have successfully duplicated their
recipe, but it's so labor intensive that I seldom make them. Roasting
and peeling the chili's is my biggest gripe with making them.If I
could buy them already peeled, I'd make it lots more often. Such is
life. Nan
