This chile relleno casserole is a layered one-dish meal, perfect for a family meal with a salad or fresh sliced tomatoes. Use chorizo or another spicy sausage or ground pork in this dish.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound chorizo or other pork sausage
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
- 2 cans (4 ounces each) whole mild green chiles, drained and seeds removed
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese mixture, divided
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- few dashes Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper
Preparation:
In a large skillet, brown sausage and ground beef, breaking meat up as it cooks. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender; drain well.
Line a 9-inch square baking dish with half of the whole chile peppers; top with 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese. Add the browned meat mixture then top with remaining chile peppers; set aside. Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt, and Tabasco or cayenne pepper, mixing well. Pour egg batter mixture over the casserole. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted around the center comes out clean. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the hot casserole. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with rice, refried beans, and a tossed green salad.
