Chiles rellenos casserole with marinara sauce

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 pounds Jack cheese, cut in strips
1 can 4 oz green chiles, seeded
½ teaspoon Baking powder
1 cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
4 Eggs
⅓ cup Milk
1 can Marinara sauce
Pitted ripe olives(garnish)
½ cup Flour

Directions

Stuff chilies w/jack cheese. Arrange chilies side-by-side in greased shallow 1½ qt. baking dish.

Beet eggs until thick and foamy, add milk, flour and baking powder - blend.

Pour egg batter over chiles - cover all chiles with batter. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered @ 375 30 minutes or until set.

Serve with heated marinara sauce and olives.

Note: I used 18 fresh Anaheim chilies (1½ pds). Blistered under broiler until popped and brown. Then peeled and seeded.

I also increased the recipe by half. Very good.
