One of my hubby’s favorite dishes is the chiles relleno. Being so busy I don’t have as much time as I used to so this short cut casserole is right up my ally. It was super easy to toss together and tasted pretty good once baked. Not too bad for a quick casserole and it freezes really well if you make it ahead of time.

Whisk together eggs and milk, then add flour and mix well.
Pour this mixture over dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Serve right away while everything is hot and cheese is melted.
