Ingredients

  • 1 can (27 ounces) whole green chilies, drained
  • 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (29 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions

  • Slice chilies in half and remove seeds. Arrange half of the chilies in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover with remaining chilies. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and flour until smooth; pour over cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce and taco seasoning; pour over casserole. Carefully place cheese cubes on top in a checkerboard pattern; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until top is set. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
