Recipe: Chili Relleno Casserole

Michael Salsbury
One of my favorite Mexican dishes is the Chili Relleno, which is a chili pepper filled with cheese, covered in an egg-based batter, with sauce on top.  This dish is a lot easier to make and tastes just as good as the real thing to me.

Ingredients:
2 cans (7 oz.) Chilis
1 small can Evaporated Milk
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp. Flour
1/2 cup Milk
1 lb. Monterey Jack Cheese
Salt
1 can (8 oz.) Tomato Sauce

Steps:
  1. Grate and mix
    cheeses.
  2. Line pan with 1 can chilis.
  3. Add half of cheese.
  4. Place rest of chilis.
  5. Add most of remaining
    cheese.
  6. Beat eggs until lemon color and add milk, flour, salt,
    then pour over chilis.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25
    mins.
  8. Remove, pour tomato sauce over top.
  9. Sprinkle with
    cheese.
  10. Bake 15 mins. more.
  11. Let stand 15-20 mins. before
    serving.
