Stuffed chili rellenos

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
GUY ATTWOOD
1 can Whole Ortega chilies
Monterey Jack cheese; grated
6 ounces Crab;and/or cooked and diced
½ pounds Very sharp cheddar cheese grated
3 Eggs
¼ cup Milk; please use whole milk
1 tablespoon Bisquick; heaping
1 teaspoon Flour; for dusting cheeses

Directions

Drain the chilies. Plan about 4 per person. Open each chili flat. In the bottom of a well buttered glass oven dish; place a layer of chilies. Dust the jack cheese with a small amount of flour. Mix together the crab and/or shrimp with the Jack cheese. Place a thin layer of this mix over the bottom layer of chilies.

Place another layer of chilies on top and repeat process ending with a top layer of chilies.

Cook in a 375*F oven for 7-10 minutes; uncovered.

Remove from oven and reduce heat to 300*F. Mix together the batter--you may have to double the batter to be sure you cover the dish well--and pour over the chilies. Add the cheddar cheese and cook, COVERED, slowly in a 300*F oven until done. You will know it is done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out relatively clean.

If the center does not set up completely after about 30 minutes, don't worry just serve it up with a salad and, I like corn with it.
