Poblano Beef Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef in a skillet. Add onion, salt & pepper to taste. Once beef is browned, add the roasted and chopped poblano peppers, the can of soup and water. Stir to mix well. **If you cannot find Campbell's Cream of Poblano Soup in the stores where you live, use Cream of Celery and simmer about 20 minutes with about a half a cup of roasted, fine chopped poblano pepper. You do want the flavor of the pepper well infused throughout the dish. For that matter, you can use the Cream of Celery soup w/no poblano pepper for a little milder flavor. You decide for yourself. You can use the dried chiles, as long as you reconstitute in warm water for about an hour before using and chop well. Poblano chiles may be hard to find in some parts of the country.
• 2. In a 2 quart baking dish, spray with nonstick cooking spray or grease well. Spoon half of the cooked rice into the bottom of the dish and spread around evenly. Cover this with half of the soup/beef mixture. Cover this layer with half of the shredded cheese. Top with the rest of the rice, spread out, add the cilantro, the rest of the soup/beef mixture and top with remaining cheese. (As a tasty option, break up a couple of handsfull of real fried corn tortilla chips on top, then top w/cheese.)
• 3. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for one hour. Remove from oven and let sit for 15-20 minutes before serving. Can serve with dinner rolls or with corn tortilla chips and your favorite salsa!
• 4. NOTE: For some who do not care for poblano peppers, you may use sweet bell pepper. Use green, red, yellow or a combination of all colors to make a milder tasting dish. When cooked in this way, poblano peppers are not usually spicy hot, but some can be a little spicy. If you are not accustomed to this, you may use the bell pepper and maybe try a little of the poblano to lighten the flavor a bit. Buen Probecho, Y'all!

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Mix in the poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic. Squeeze the juice from one lime half over the chicken, and place the lime peel and pulp into the skillet. Cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and cut chicken into cubes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Gradually stir in the flour and half-and-half. Mix in the cilantro, mushrooms, sour cream, and juice of remaining lime half. Cook and stir 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
• Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with 6 tortillas. Arrange 1/2 the chicken and pepper mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, and cover with remaining tortillas. Layer with remaining chicken and pepper mixture, and pour the cilantro sauce evenly over the casserole. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to Broil. Spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• 2. Put the poblanos, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet and flatten them with your hand. Broil for 10 minutes, or until the poblanos are blackened. Put the poblanos in a plastic zip-top bag and seal. Let stand 10 minutes.
• 3. Decrease the oven temperature to 350°F.
• 4. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, combine the beef and onion. Cook, breaking up any lumps with the back of a spoon, until the beef is browned through, about 10 minutes. Drain off the fat, and then sprinkle with the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper.
• 5. Put half of the poblanos in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the cheese and top with the meat mixture. Arrange remaining poblanos over the meat.
• 6. Mix the flour and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, milk, and Tabasco. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour and stir until smooth. Pour over the casserole.
• 7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted just off-center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
