Chili Relleno Casserole With Meringue Topping Food

CHILI RELLENOS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F and have ready a greased 9x13" casserole dish.
• Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, cumin, and onion powder to a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir to combine. Pour the sauce into the casserole dish.
• Split the chilis in half lengthwise and take care to remove all of the seeds. Using half of the total chilis, lay them flat, in one layer across the sauce. Then, sprinkle evenly with half of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of chilis, and end with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese. Set aside until ready to use.
• Separate the egg whites and the yolks. Add the egg whites to a clean medium-sized mixing bowl and the yolks to a large mixing bowl. Set the bowl of yolks aside.
• Using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites until they are about 4 times the size, white, and glossy -- about 4 minutes.
• Stir the milk, flour, and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the egg yolk mixture. Then, fold in the egg whites. Pour the mixture evenly across the top of the casserole and spread to the edges of the dish
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is set and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F and prepare a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• In a mixing bowl add the egg yolks, milk, flour, salt and pepper and beat together. In a separate bowl whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture and set aside while you assemble the casserole.
• Arrange 1/2 of the peppers on the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 of cheddar and 1/2 of the monterey jack cheese. Create the next layer with the remaining chilies and cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the casserole to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour and the center does not jiggle.
• While the casserole is baking: in a medium size bowl, toss the reserved cheddar, the reserved monterey jack cheese and the pepper jack cheese. In another small dish, mix the tomato paste and the salsa together until smooth. It may be necessary to add a small amount of tap water to get a spreadable consistency. Reserve the cheese and tomato topping in the refrigerator until the casserole has baked for the one hour.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and spread the tomato/salsa over the casserole and distribute the reserved cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and a little bubbly on the edges.
• Transfer the casserole to a wire rack and cool for 20 minutes before serving.

CHILI RELLENO CASSEROLE WITH MERINGUE TOPPING

Steps:

• Drain the diced tomatoes, then mix with the honey and ancho pepper.
• Grease the sides of two 4 inch by 8 inch bread pans (I prefer glass ones), layer each with the tomato mixture, then ½ of the cheese. Layer the cheese with a double layer of green chilies, then the other half of the cheese. Microwave for 3 ½ minutes. The cheese on top should be slightly melted, so that when you pour the egg mixture over it in the last step of this recipe, the egg mixture will stay on top.
• Mix the eggs, milk, flour, salt, cayenne pepper and baking powder until the mixture is smooth and pour evenly over the cheese. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and is lightly browned on top.
• Refrigerate. To serve, cut contents of each pan with a sharp knife into eight 1-inch wide slices and warm the slices in a microwave oven.
• Diced green chilies can be used, but I prefer the whole green chilies, because you can remove any skin that might still be on them, and the diced green chilies often have some skin on them, which tends to get stuck between your teeth.
