The traditional recipe for chili relleno takes more time to prepare than this casserole version.—Joan Schroeder, Pinedale, Wyoming

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • Additional shredded cheddar cheese, optional

Directions

  1. In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the green pepper, salt, pepper, oregano and garlic powder. Cook until green pepper is tender. Combine cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses; set aside.
  2. In a 2-1/2-qt. baking dish, layer half each of meat mixture, chiles and cheese; repeat with remaining meat mixture, chiles and cheese. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the egg, cream and flour; pour over cheese layer.
  3. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Remove from oven; cover with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until set.
