Heritage Recipe

Chile Relleno Casserole

"My mother used to make this recipe, which came out of an old WWII cookbook. She always used green bell peppers, but I decided to try New Mexico green chiles instead. . . and it just worked beautifully. You may also add bacon, ham, or chicken." ...Victoria Farmer

Ingredients:

1 cup green chile peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1-1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1-1/4 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated

1/2 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1-1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup sour cream (or as needed)

1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced

1 cup salsa (your favorite)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, place the green chile peppers, eggs, the two cheeses, flour, baking powder, and milk. Mix the ingredients together well. Place the mixture in a 10-inch buttered pie pan. Bake the casserole for 50 minutes or until it is fully set.

Remove the casserole from the oven. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Cut into 6 pie-shape wedges. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and some slices of avocado. Serve the salsa on the side.

Serves: 6
