Time 1h14m

Yield 1 Casserole, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped fine
2 lbs ground beef, 90 percent lean
4 poblano chiles or 6 anaheim chilies, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, drained
10 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded (2 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup skim milk
2 large egg whites

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in beef, breaking up meat into small pieces, and cook until no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer beef mixture to paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet.
  • 2. Add poblanos and cook over medium-high heat until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in beef mixture, garlic, cumin, ¾ teaspoon salt, oregano, ½ teaspoon pepper, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook until beef mixture is dry, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in 2 cups Monterey Jack. Scrape mixture into 13 by 9-inch baking dish, pressing into even layer.
  • 3. Combine flour, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper in bowl. Slowly whisk milk into flour mixture until smooth; set aside. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip egg whites on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk one-third whipped egg whites into batter, then gently fold in remaining whites, 1 scoop at a time, until combined.
  • 4. Pour batter over beef mixture. Bake until topping is light golden and puffed, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve.

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

I'm not a fan of poblano peppers, so I used bell peppers instead. The casserole was still delicious and my family loved it.

This casserole was easy to make and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add more cheese.

I made this casserole for my vegetarian friends and they loved it. The poblano peppers were a great substitute for meat.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The poblano peppers give it a nice smoky flavor and the cheese is gooey and melted to perfection.
