Stuffed Chili Rellenos

Directions

Drain the chilies.

Plan about 4 per person.

Open each chili flat.

In the bottom of a well buttered glass oven dish; place a layer of chilies.

Dust the jack cheese with a small amount of flour.

Mix together the crab and/or shrimp with the Jack cheese.

Place a thin layer of this mix over the bottom layer of chilies.

Place another layer of chilies on top and repeat process ending with a top layer of chilies.

Cook in a 375 degree F oven for 7 to 10 minutes; uncovered.

Remove from oven and reduce heat to 300℉ (150℃).

Mix together the batter--you may have to double the batter to be sure you cover the dish well--and pour over the chilies.

Add the cheddar cheese and cook, COVERED, slowly in a 300℉ (150℃) oven until done.

You will know it is done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out relatively clean.

If the center does not set up completely after about 30 minutes, don’t worry just serve it up with a salad and, I like corn with it.
