CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE

1 large can Ortego chiles
1 lb. grated cheddar cheese
1 lb. grated Jack cheese
1 large can evaporated milk
4 eggs, separated
3 tbsp. flour
2 cans tomato sauce

Alternate chiles and cheeses in layers. Add milk, flour, salt and pepper to egg yolks. Beat and fold in egg whites gently. Pour over child preparation. Bake at 325° loosely covered with aluminum foil. Remove cover, pour tomato sauce on top and bake 1/2 hour more.
From Jeanne Farrington
Notes: Don’t use the tomato sauce. Bake for about an hour. Use fresh chiles. Alternatives: roast Anaheim chiles (about a dozen), chop jalapenos and habeneros and throw in raw. Oven roast or grill red peppers, red onion and Mexican squash. The basic cheese, milk, egg deal is enough for a 9x13" pan.
