Recipe Summary Baked Beef Chiles Rellenos Casserole

Super-easy, delicious, and low-carb version of chiles rellenos. Serve with dollops of low-fat sour cream and pico de gallo or salsa.

Ingredients | Patacones Rellenos Tostones

6 large poblano peppers, halved and seeded

1 ½ pounds ground beef, or to taste

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon ground paprika

¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 large onion, chopped

2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers

cooking spray

3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Cook under the preheated broiler until poblano pepper skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 10 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion; cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with green chiles; cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more. Let beef mixture cool.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.

Run water over the poblano peppers to remove skins and discard them. Drain peppers on paper towels. Place a layer of peppers on the bottom of the prepared dish; place 1/3 of the beef mixture on top. Cover with 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend. Repeat layers twice more in the same order.

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 35 minutes.
