Chilies Rellenos Casserole

Chilies and cheese, a perfect  flavor combination. This  would also be a good brunch dish.


Preheat oven to 350.   Lightly grease or spray a 9x13  shallow baking dish.  From a 16-oz. can of mild green chilies, remove stems and lay half  the chilies  flat on the bottom of the dish.   In a skillet, cook 1/2 lb ground pork and 1/2 lb. ground beef with 1 chopped onion and 1 clove minced garlic, until browned.  Drain well and spoon over the chilies, then layer on  3 c. shredded cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining chilies.  Whisk together 4 eggs, 1/4 c. flour, 1  1/2 c. milk, 1 tsp salt.  Pour over the chilies, top with 1 c. shredded Monterey jack cheese, and bake for 25 minutes.  Remove cover and bake for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned.  Serves 6-8
