Quick Chile Relleno Casserole image

My mother has been making this recipe for years. Its quick and easy and comes close to the original. I am not a big fan of the "chile". I have substitued chopped green chiles and shredded the jack cheese - which I actually prefer - but either way, this is a tasty one!
