Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Mmm....anyone for Mexican food tonight? This has a really strong Mexican flavour to it, and quite frankly, at first I was sceptible of this recipe because I've never been a fan of Mexican food. At least, ever since we moved to Texas I haven't. Hehe. But this was DELICIOUS! And the " crust " that is created around this dish during baking is just PERFECT! Adds a really great touch, along with the chiles, of course, which are the " taste point " of this casserole. I might like to add, this is a rather flat casserole, so you MIGHT want to make it as a side dish or accompaniment to a main course Mexican dish if serving a lot of people. Happy (Mexican) cooking! Emmy Chile Rellenos Casserole ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (This is REALLY easy to make!) Makes 6 servings. 1 cup evaporated skim milk 3 eggs 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 & 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 3 4- & -1/2-ounce cans whole green chiles (any flavour, mild or hot) 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce 1) In bowl, beat milk, eggs, and flour until smooth. 2) Mix cheeses together, reserving 1/2 cup of it. 3) Spray or grease an 11x7x2-inch baking dish. 4) Drain, rinse, and cut open the chiles; seed them and make sure that they are cut open such that they will lay perfectly flat in one layer in the baking dish. 5) Arrange half the chiles in dish, spread out and " flattened " . 6) Sprinkle first layer of chiles with half of the cheese. 7) Pour half of the milk mixture over the top of the first chiles- and-cheese layer. 8) Repeat the layers: last of chiles, then the remaining cheese (excluding the half cup you set aside earlier!), and finally the last of the milk mixture. 9) Pour the tomato sauce over the top. 10) Bake casserole in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or just until set and has lots of golden brown around the edges. 11) When take casserole out of over, sprinkle it with the reserved 1/2 cup of cheese, and let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
