How to Make Bill's Chile Relleno Casserole

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roast the chiles directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until the skins are blackened. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 15 minutes. Peel, seed, and slice the chiles.
In a large skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper and cook for another minute.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the chile slices, then half of the rice, then half of the cheese. Repeat layers.
Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the top.
Sprinkle with cilantro (if using).
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
Let cool slightly before serving.
