You can use chicken, beef, or no meat at all
Anyway, You can use hot or mild chilies & sauce....and use pepper jack cheese if you like an added 'kick'.
I'm not normally one for using recipes that call for canned foods, but I make an exception for this one...it's that good, IMHO.
Y'all try it & let me know what you think.
------
GREEN CHILIE CASSAROLE
1 lb ground beef OR boneless chicken [cubed]
1 can green enchilada sauce
2 large cans diced green chilies OR 10 to 12 green chilies, roasted and cleaned
12 corn tortias
1 can whole kernel corn [drained]
1 Tablespoon oil
3 tablespoons diced onion
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
1 minced garlic
2 Tblsp ground cumin
About 3 cups shredded cheese
3 eggs
2 Tblsp flour
-----
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Brown ground beef [or] prepare chicken
In a 10 inch skillet, sauté onion and garlic in the oil
Add enchilada sauce, meat, drained corn and green chili
[ONLY if using canned – fresh chilies are layered with tortias]
Heat till bubbly
Spray casserole or 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray
Starting with the sauce - spread a thin layer in the bottom of the dish
Add strips of fresh chilies [if using]
Sprinkle with 1/4 to 1/3 of the cheese
Cover with a single layer of corn tortia [they trim to fit nicely, but don't worry about small gaps]
Repeat layers.
Mix eggs with flour until smooth. Pour over top
Bake 30 to 40 minutes
Let sit about 10 minutes before serving
I just knew I was going to mess that post up.
The salt, pepper & cumin get put in the sauce, BTW !
