Linda's Low Carb CHILE RELLENO CASSEROLE
Submitted by: THELMAGADDIS

Introduction

This was very good and much easier than stuffing the cheese into the chiles, but with pretty much the same flavor of the traditional method. If you don't care for hot food, you could use plain Monterey jack cheese instead of the pepper-jack. For myself I added more pepper.
