Time 1h21m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large poblano peppers, halved and seeded
1 ½ pounds ground beef, or to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
cooking spray
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until poblano pepper skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with green chiles; cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more. Let beef mixture cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Run water over the poblano peppers to remove skins and discard them. Drain peppers on paper towels. Place a layer of peppers on the bottom of the prepared dish; place 1/3 of the beef mixture on top. Cover with 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend. Repeat layers twice more in the same order.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 35 minutes.

CHILIES RELLENOS CASSEROLE



Chilies Rellenos Casserole image

I found 9 RZ recipes for this type dish, but none at all like it & it sounds so good to me! I found it in the "Tasty Holiday Gifts" cookbook SusieQusie spotted at a bookstore in Dallas recently. From their intro: "This spicy Chilies Rellenos Casserole is a great new way to serve eggs at Easter & it's easy to reheat for a delicious brunch dish! The quiche-like casserole features a "crust" of green chilies + a cheesy egg filling & is served w/sour cream & salsa." Since this is a meatless dish, I see spicy grd pork patties as a good side or even some yummy & well-cooked chorizo sausage as a good add to the dish. I would personally make this yr-round if I could, but I rarely see green chilies here & may have to wait for another visit to SQ in Dallas to enjoy it. (Times were not given & have been estimated)

CHILES RELLENOS MINI CASSEROLES



Chiles Rellenos Mini Casseroles image

This recipe came about by accident 20 years ago. My sons had begged me to hurry up with breakfast so that we could play a game of catch. I whipped this up, spent time with my sons and then we all enjoyed our own spicy fun "casserole".

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 flour tortillas (8 inches)
4-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
Salsa

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers. Poblano peppers are the most commonly used for chile rellenos, but you can also use Anaheim or bell peppers. Look for peppers that are large, firm, and have smooth skin.
  • Roast the peppers properly. Roasting the peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the peppers on a gas stovetop, over an open flame, or in the oven. If you're using a gas stovetop, hold the pepper over the flame with tongs until the skin is blackened. If you're roasting the peppers over an open flame, place them on a grill or in a fire pit until the skin is blackened. If you're roasting the peppers in the oven, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 10-12 minutes, or until the skin is blackened.
  • Peel the peppers carefully. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling them. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel away the skin, taking care not to tear the flesh of the peppers.
  • Stuff the peppers evenly. When you're stuffing the peppers, be sure to evenly distribute the filling so that each bite has a good balance of flavors. You can use a variety of fillings for chile rellenos, such as cheese, beans, rice, and vegetables.
  • Cook the peppers gently. Chile rellenos can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to fry them. Be sure to cook the peppers gently so that they don't burst. You can also bake or steam chile rellenos.

Conclusion:

Chile rellenos is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious chile rellenos casserole that your family and friends will love.
