Cooking with SDNGal
Time for our weekly Cooking with SDNGal feature. Today's recipe comes from my Grandma Evie who was the cutest thing ever to come out of Oklahoma. Tiny, southern, adorable. I was looking through her old recipe box, trying to find her recipe for baked custard when I came across today's feature: Chili Relleno Casserole. I couldn't help myself...I decided to try it out! Mostly because I LOVE chili rellenos but also because it seems so 1950s to me. And away we go:
Chili Relleno Casserole
2- 7oz cans of diced or whole HOT green chilies (or you can use mild)
1/2 lb shredded jack cheese
4 tsp flour
4 eggs, seperated
In a 9 inch pie pan layer the first 1/2 of the chilies, then 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat the layers: remaining 1/2 of the chilies, last 1/2 of the cheese. Then beat the egg whites until they are stiff. This takes a while. Don't give up hope! Then slightly beat the yolks and fold into the whites. Add the flour and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir gently. Pour over the top of the chili/cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
Yum.
