Savory Baked Beef Stuffed Chiles Rellenos Casserole
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, drained
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and seeded
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain excess fat.
Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine cooked beef mixture, diced green chiles, Monterey Jack cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese.
Carefully stuff each roasted poblano pepper with the beef and cheese mixture, then place them in the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, and baking powder until smooth. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the stuffed peppers.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
