Chile Relleno Casserole

Rinse chiles, open flat and remove seeds. Drain on paper towels.

Brown meat with onion and garlic. Drain. Add 1 tsp cumin, 1.5 tbs chili powder and salt. Stir.

In a greased 9x13 inch pan, place a layer of chiles, the beef and another layer of chiles. Combine cheeses and sprinkle over chiles.

Beat together the eggs, half and half, and flour. Pour this over the chile, beef and cheese mixture.

To the tomato sauce add 2 tsp cumin and 1.5 tbs chili powder. Pour over all.

Bake 30-45 min at 350 F. (Note: If preparing ahead of time, do not cover with tomato sauce until time to bake.)

Serve topped with sour cream, green onions, extra cheese or whatever your pleasure is. If you cannot find a low carb tomato sauce, you can omit it from the recipe to reduce carbs.
