7. ADD 2 TBSP rub or spice to beer can.
8. PLACE beer can on ovenproof pan or dish (this allows the chicken to cook indirectly and catches the juices if you want to make gravy.
9. ARRANGE chicken on beer can, allow the two legs to form two sides of tripod so chicken is stable (picture).

Chili Un-Rellenos Casserole

I love Chili Rellenos but I never make them at home. This has all the flavors, but non of the hassle. Relleno means "stuffed" so this is an un-rellenos version.  :)

Chili Un-Rellenos Casserole

2-8 ounce cans whole green chilies, drained
1 lb. Monterrey jack cheese, shredded or sliced
6 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk
3 T shortening, melted and slightly cooled
1/4 t. salt

Layer chile's and cheese in a greased 9 x 13 " baking pan: set aside.
Whisk together eggs, flour, milk, shortening and salt: mix well and pour over cheese.
Bake, uncovered at 350 ° F. for 30 minutes or until golden.
Serves 6-8

Cooks notes: I'd make the following renditions in future preparations of this dish to suit my family's tastes.
First I would use diced chilies and I couldn't find 8 ounce cans of chilies at my store but used 4-4 oz cans instead. I might even use half of what the recipe calls for.
I would substitute butter, margarine or oil for the shortening and add a bit more salt. I would also sprinkle some sweet smoked paprika to the top for a bit of color. This was flavorful and very filling. Easy on the budget and a nice meatless meal.
I wonder how this would taste with cornbread mix instead of flour too? Betcha that would be good too. :)
