I work at a local hospital and another job part time, so I'm always on the lookout for good, quick recipes to fix for my family. Some of my co-workers and I exchange recipes. This zippy casserole is one that was brought to a picnic at my house. People raved over it. -Dianne Esposite, New Middletown, Ohio

PORK AND GREEN CHILI CASSEROLE



Pork and Green Chili Casserole image

This couldn't be easier to put together. I made this for a potluck luncheon at work years ago and was amazed at how popular it became with my co-workers. It seemed like every week one of the gals would tell me she prepared it for the family. IF you have any leftovers, it is good wrapped up in a flour tortilla "burrito style".

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs boneless pork, cut into cubes (I use pork tenderloin)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
1 cup quick-cooking brown rice
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In large skillet, brown pork in oil until no pink remains, drain.
  • Add beans, soup, tomatoes, chilies, rice, water, salsa and cumin. Cook and stir until bubbly.
  • Pour into ungreased 2 quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Sprinkle with cheese, let stand a few minutes before serving.
  • I have made this in my electric skillet and instead of putting it in the oven, just placed the lid on the skillet and let it simmer VERY slowly for 20 or so minutes. Then added the cheese, replaced the lid for about 5 minutes -- and it was good to go.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: A pork shoulder or butt roast is the best choice for this recipe. It's a tough cut of meat that becomes tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork adds flavor and helps to keep it from drying out.
  • Use a variety of chiles: This recipe calls for a combination of green chiles, poblano peppers, and Anaheim peppers. You can adjust the heat level by using more or less of each type of pepper.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: The spices in this recipe are essential for adding flavor. Be sure to use a good quality chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • Cook the casserole low and slow: The best way to cook this casserole is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This casserole is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.

Conclusion:

This Southwest Pork Green Chili Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover pork. The casserole is full of flavor, thanks to the combination of pork, chiles, and spices. It's also hearty and filling, thanks to the beans and corn.
