Best 3 Hatch Green Chile Mexican Breakfast Casserole Recipes

HATCH CHILE MEXICAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Roast and peel hatch chiles*
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Add ground beef to a large pan over medium heat. Once meat is halfway cooked through, add onion, jalapeño, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper.
• Once meat is cooked through, add hot sauce and diced tomatoes and let cook on low for 3-5 minutes.
• Once meat is cooked through, grab out individual baking dishes to create the casseroles with. If you don't have individual baking dishes, you can use a bread pan to create the casserole.
• Grease each individual baking dish (I used four) then begin the layers. Lie 2 hatch chiles flat, then top with ground beef mixture, cheese (if you are eating dairy), 2 more hatch chiles, ground beef and more cheese. Repeat with other individual baking dishes.
• Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
• While casseroles bake, add avocados, cilantro, lime, lemon, olive oil, cumin and salt to a food processor and puree until smooth.
• Top casseroles with avocado puree.

GREEN CHILE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray saute onions, garlic, bell pepper, and corn until tender.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in chicken, salt, and pepper, then add 1/2 c of enchilada sauce. Mix well.
• Spread 1/4 c enchilada sauce on the bottom of an 11x7 inch pan.
• Spread 4 tortillas with sour cream, then place in pan. Pour half the chicken mixture on top.
• Add 1/4 cheese and top with two tortillas.
• Pour 1/4 c enchilada sauce over tortillas, then cover with remaining chicken mixture and 1/4 c cheese.
• Spread 1 T of sour cream on two tortillas, then place them CREAM SIDE DOWN on top of casserole. You will want to layer them crossways from the two tortillas below (trust me, this works).
• Spread 1/4 c enchilada sauce on top of tortillas, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 c cheese.
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

PINTO BEAN CASSEROLE WITH HATCH CHILES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
• Melt bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pinto beans and salsa verde; mash most of the beans. Season with salt.
• Spread 1/2 of the bean mixture in the bottom of the prepared casserole. Layer with 1/2 of the chile peppers and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat layers once. Cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly heated, about 30 minutes. Remove foil and turn on the broiler. Broil until cheese starts to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
