Here is a great casserole that a dear friend of mine gave me. She lives in south western USA and said her family just love it. Ingredients:
1 27 oz. can whole green chilies |
1 lb. monterey jack or pepper jack cheese, grated/shredded |
1 lb. cheddar cheese, grated/shredded |
1-1/2 to 2 lbs. ground beef, browned |
2 garlic cloves, minced or finely chopped |
1 tomato, seeded and diced |
3 eggs, beaten |
3 tbsp. flour |
1 small can evaporated milk |
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce or you can use salsa sauce |
Directions:
1. Wash chilies, slice open, remove seeds, and pat dry.
2. In a 9” x 13” pan, layer half the chiles, then half the cooked ground beef and garlic mixture with tomatoes added after cooking beef, then half the cheese.
3. Repeat layers but save 1/2 cup cheese for topping.
4. Beat the eggs, add the flour and milk and beat until blended.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the chiles, meat, and cheese.
6. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes.
7. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the top, sprinkle with the reserved cheese and bake 15 minutes longer.
8. Cut into squares.
