Chile Relleno Casserole
It doesn't get any easier or tastier than this Cheesy Chile Relleno Casserole recipe! Whole canned green chiles are layered with 3 kinds of cheese, then topped with an egg and milk mixture, just like a breakfast casserole. Is it breakfast? Is it dinner? YES!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
- Open up the cans of whole chiles and drain completely. If they are not already open, slit one side of each chile with a knife and remove all the seeds from the center.
- Layer the chiles in the pan, covering the bottom. Use half the chiles, about 10 ounces.
- Top the chiles with 1/2 cup each of shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack Cheese, and Pepper Jack cheese.
- Repeat. Layer the remaining chiles on top of the cheese, top with 1/2 cup each of the cheeses.
- Meanwhile in a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together 8 eggs, 1 cup evaporated milk*, 2/3 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and chiles.**
- Bake at 350 for about 35-45 minutes. You will know it's done when the top is puffy, the edges are golden, and the center doesn't wobble more than the edges when you shake the pan.
- Let set for about 5 minutes and then serve! I love to serve this with Restaurant Style Salsa passed at the table, in case people want a little more heat. A store bought salsa will do, too!
