• In a large bowl, mix eggs, flour, evaporated milk, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and onion powder together, whisk until combined. Set aside.

• Add refried beans to the pan with the ground beef, and mix meat and refried beans together until full incorporated.
• Cut tortillas in 1 inch wide strips. Place ½ the tortillas to form a layer of the strips into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Layer ½ the green chilies over the strips evenly.
• Layer ½ the cheese, then add a second layer of tortillas, then another layer of green chilies.

• Split the chiles open, and spread half the chiles into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer with the Cheddar cheese, and top with the rest of the canned chiles. Whisk together the eggs, flour, and evaporated milk in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the chiles and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 30 minutes; remove casserole, and top with the Monterey Jack cheese. Pour the green chili salsa over the top; return to oven, and bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 more minutes.

Steps:

• Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler until charred all over, turning as necessary, about 8 minutes. Put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, remove the stems and run under cold water to peel off the blackened outer skin and remove the seeds.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put 1 piece Colby Jack cheese in the center of each pepper. Pour half of enchilada sauce into an 8-inch square baking dish. Put half of the cheese-filled peppers on top of the enchilada sauce. Repeat with the remaining sauce and peppers.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl until very frothy. Whisk in the Cheddar, milk, flour and baking powder. Gently pour the mixture over the peppers and sauce in the baking dish.
• Bake until the casserole is set in the center and golden brown all over, about 1 hour. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

CHILI RELLENO CASSEROLE WITH MERINGUE TOPPING

Steps:

• Drain the diced tomatoes, then mix with the honey and ancho pepper.
• Grease the sides of two 4 inch by 8 inch bread pans (I prefer glass ones), layer each with the tomato mixture, then ½ of the cheese. Layer the cheese with a double layer of green chilies, then the other half of the cheese. Microwave for 3 ½ minutes. The cheese on top should be slightly melted, so that when you pour the egg mixture over it in the last step of this recipe, the egg mixture will stay on top.
• Mix the eggs, milk, flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and pour evenly over the cheese. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and is lightly browned on top.
• Refrigerate. To serve, cut contents of each pan with a sharp knife into eight 1-inch wide slices and warm the slices in a microwave oven.
• Diced green chilies can be used, but I prefer the whole green chilies, because you can remove any skin that might still be on them, and the diced green chilies often have some skin on them, which tends to get stuck between your teeth.
