Notes

๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Use fresh roasted poblano peppers for best flavor; canned green chilies are a good shortcut.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Roast peppers over stove flame, broiler, or grill and steam in a bag for easier peeling.
โ„๏ธ Make ahead by roasting peppers 1-2 days before or assembling casserole up to 24 hours ahead; freeze leftovers up to 3 months.
