I had promised to post my green chili casserole recipe. Actually it is a chili rellano casserole with my addition. It is good and oh - those chilies smell so good while baking! Yummy!!!! If you do use fresh chilies you must first either roast them and peel the outer layer off or have someone else do it. They aren't so tough that way.
Chris's Green Chili Casserole
1 (20 oz.) can whole mild green chilis (you may use fresh, but use New Mexico or Big Jim's) *
3 c. Jack cheese, thinly sliced
1 c. milk
4 eggs
3 tbl. flour
black pepper to taste
3 c. cheddar cheese, grated
2 tbl. cilantro - or to taste
1 to 1 1/2 lb. browned ground beef
Brown ground beef and drain. Slit chilies open and mop with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Stuff each chili with a slice or two of Jack cheese and place them in a sprayed baking dish (9 x 13). Top the chilies with the browned ground beef. Whisk together milk, eggs, flour, cilantro and pepper to taste and pour over all. Sprinkle grated cheese over top, cover and bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Slice and serve.
*Remove seeds and white veins from the chilies before use, using rubber gloves.
Also, if you use fresh, make sure they are roasted before use.
