Steps:
- Roast the peppers on the grill or over a gas flame charring the skins. You don't want to cook the chili just loosen the skin. Place the chilis in a plastic or paper bag and let sit for 20 minutes or so. Take a paper towel and rub the chard skin from the chilis. Make a slit lengthwise in the chili and remove the seeds. I like to leave the stem on for the presentation. Lay the chilis out on paper towels and blot excess moisture off. Depending on the size of the chilis you will want to cut 4 logs cheese about 1/2" x 1/2" x 4" in size. Stuff each chili with one log and wrap the chili around it like a blanket. Seperate the eggs adding the whites to a mixing bowel and reserving the yokes. Note: If you have fresh home grown eggs the color of this dish is amazing. Beat the whites with a mixer until stiff. Stir yokes together and fold into the whites along with the flour and salt. Sprinkle the flour and salt over the top because you don't want to blend the mixture any more than you have to because the batter will loose it's volume. Heat a griddle to medium heat, you want the chilis to cook to golden brown and not burn. If the heat is too high they will not cook through. Spray the griddle with Pam, coat each chili in the batter, use your hands, and place on the griddle to cook. In a saucepan blend the salsa and cornstarch together and heat over medium heat until thickened. When your chilis are golden brown on both sides serve topped with salsa. I like to serve a simple salad of shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and cremma. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Remove 8 large chilis from the can, slit one side to open it up, gently rinse and remove seeds. Blot dry with paper towels or the dough will get too wet to handle.
- 2. Remove the biscuits from the can. Put on a lightly floured board. Pat the biscuit and stretch it into a rectangle shape, careful not to tear it. Cut the cheese into 8 sticks, 1/4 inch wide by about 3 inches long. Then wrap the cheese in a chili and place inside the biscuit triangle and seal the edges.
- 3. Place the puffy chiles rellenos on the greased cookie sheet seam side facing UP.
- 4. Bake in a 375 degree oven about 12 minutes until light brown, and while they are baking, make the topping.
- 5. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Beat the eggs and the salt with a whisk and then fold them into the egg whites, just until mixed.
- 6. Open the oven door, and pull out the chiles rellenos and spoon the egg mixture in mounds over the top of each one, hiding the seam, as depicted in my photo. Close the oven door and continue to bake them until the topping is golden brown, about and additional 15 minutes. Serve with heated chunky salsa. Enjoy!
- 7. Cook's Tip: This is a recipe you can have fun with. Try adding a little cooked chicken, beef, sausage, or cooked onions with the cheese. Use your imagination. This is a great change from sandwiches for lunch, and is a great way to use up your leftovers.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, and cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Turn the peppers often to blacken all sides. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
- Rinse cooled peppers under cold water to peel off the skins, and cut a slit along the long side of each pepper to remove the seeds and core. Rinse the peppers inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the peppers with strips of the cheese.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with the baking powder. In a second metal bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until the whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Place flour into a shallow bowl.
- Heat the vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, tap off excess flour, and dip the peppers into the egg mixture to coat both sides. Gently lay the coated peppers into the hot shortening. Fry peppers until lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

BONNIE'S CHILI
This chili is incredibly easy to make, and has a surprising depth of flavor for something that comes together in no time before the slow cooker takes over the work. I can make this for people who like it hot or mild just by changing the salsa. You can make it really spicy if you add hot peppers and hot salsa. -Bonnie Altig, North Pole, Alaska

Tips:
- Select the Right Chilies: Choose poblano chilies that are large, firm, and have a deep green color. They should be free of blemishes and bruises.
- Properly Roast the Chilies: Roasting the chilies directly over an open flame or under a broiler helps to bring out their smoky flavor. Make sure to roast them until the skin is blistered and charred.
- Handle the Chilies with Care: Roasted chilies can be very hot, so handle them with gloves or a kitchen towel. Be careful not to touch your eyes or face while working with them.
- Remove the Seeds and Veins: Once the chilies are roasted, carefully remove the seeds and veins. This will help to reduce their spiciness and make them easier to stuff.
- Prepare the Filling: The filling for chiles rellenos can vary, but common ingredients include cheese, beans, vegetables, and meat. Make sure to season the filling well and adjust the spiciness to your liking.
- Stuff the Chilies: Use a spoon or your hands to carefully stuff the chilies with the prepared filling. Be gentle to avoid tearing the chilies.
- Batter and Fry the Chilies: Dip the stuffed chilies in a batter made with eggs, flour, and milk. Then, carefully fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with Sauces: Chiles rellenos are traditionally served with a tomato-based sauce, a creamy sauce, or a combination of both. You can also garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
