Chili Relleno Casserole image

Several friends and I were joking about "'70's Food" earlier today, which made me a little nostalgic. Here's one of my old (OLD) stand-by favorites from that era. Alas, no "Cream-of-Anything" soup included, nor aspic'ed mystery substances, and not a fondue pot in sight. Nothing authentically culturally correct...just simple, good ol' '70's fare. Nothing fancy. *Dead easy* to make. It's simply 'got a good beat, and I can dance to it.'

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (7 ounce) can whole green chilies, drained (or 2 cans CHOPPED green chilies)
4 cups grated mixed cheeses (sharp Cheddar, Jack, Asiago, Pepper-Jack, Parm, WHATEVER)
2/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped-believe Brits call it "coriander leaves?")
1 large roma tomato, seeded, juiced, chopped
1 onion, diced (sweet, Saute' if you have time)
4 eggs, separated, yolks in a small bowl, whites in a large bowl
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup flour (or corn masa flour)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup sour cream
1 (8 -10 ounce) can enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Spray a 9 x 9 casserole dish with non-stick vegetable spray (Pam) - especially the SIDES and top edges. If using whole chilies, split them open. Either way, cover the bottom of the dish with chilies.
  • In a bowl, toss together the grated cheeses, tomato, olives, onions, and 3/4 of the cilantro. Place in the casserole dish, over the chilies. Drizzle about 1/3 of the can of enchilada sauce over this.
  • Separate eggs yolks from whites. Beat the egg whites until very frothy, but.
  • not too stiff and meringue-like. In a separate bowl, combine yolks, milk, flour, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Fold egg whites into the yolk mixture, and pour this combination onto the casserole.
  • Drizzle with remaining enchilada sauce. Bake 20 minutes. Top with Parmesan. Bake another 15-20 minutes, until top is golden-brown-and-delicious. Cool for 10+ minutes before serving. Top with dollops of sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro.

I'm not a big fan of ground beef, so I used shredded chicken instead. It was just as good.

I had a hard time finding roasted poblanos, so I used canned ones instead. The casserole still turned out great.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a little bit of extra spice by using a hotter chili pepper.
