Gluten Free Chile Relleno Casserole

3 cans (4 ounces each) whole green chiles, drained

1 - 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 - 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/3 cup gluten free flour blend (I use Bette Hagman's Featherlight blend)

1 cup half-and-half cream

2 eggs, beaten

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

1/3 package taco seasoning mix (I use Mc Cormick brand)

Split chiles open lengthwise. Rinse out seeds and place chiles on paper towels to drain. Combine cheeses; set aside 1/2 cup for topping. In a bowl, combine the gluten free flour blend, cream and eggs until smooth.

In a greased deep 1 - 1/2 quart baking dish, layer half of cheese, chiles and egg mixture. Repeat layers. Combine tomato sauce and taco seasoning mix. Pour tomato sauce mixture over the top; sprinkle with reserved cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 55 - 65 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4-6 servings
