Chorizo Chile Relleno Casserole image

Captures the taste of Chile Rellenos without the hassle involved. Spicy enough to be interesting but not "hot" at all. I use just a sprinkle of cayenne, no Tabasco. The seasoning comes from the Chorizo.

Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb chorizo sausage (spicy Mexican sausage)
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, crushed, minced, to taste
2 (4 ounce) cans whole mild green chilies, drained & seeds removed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided
4 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash Tabasco sauce or 1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown sausage and ground beef, breaking up meat as it cooks.
  • Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender.
  • Drain well, as chorizo is quite greasy.
  • Cut the chilies into strips length-wise.
  • Line a 9x9" square baking dish with half of the chilies; top with 1 1/2 cups of cheese.
  • Add browned meat mixture then top with remaining chilies; set aside.
  • Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt, and Tabasco or cayenne pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture over casserole.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a 350F oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted around the center comes out clean.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the hot casserole.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
