CHILIES RELLENOS CASSEROLE 
1 can (7 oz.) Ortega Whole Green Chilies
2 c. grated Jack cheese
1 can (7 oz.) Ortega Green Chili Salsa

Slit chilies lengthwise carefully on one side and open flat. Remove seeds. Divide 1 1/2 cups of cheese evenly among chilies and place on centers of chilies. Roll up each chile, starting at the pointed end. Place rolls, seam side down, side by side in greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.

Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over chilies and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated oven (375 degrees) 35-40 minutes, or until puffed, browned, and firm. Heat salsa and spoon over chilies, as desired, when serving.

For a delicious variation and a more substantial dish, lay each opened chile on a thin slice of ham before sprinkling with cheese. Then roll ham and chile together over cheese as directed above. Serves 4.
