Green Chile Casserole (Marian Moats)

2-7 oz. cans whole green chilies                               

1/3 C. flour

3 eggs, well-beaten

1/2 lb. shredded cheddar cheese & 1/2 lb. shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or you can get the Mexican cheese combination which has both already mixed together)

1 C. half and half or evaporated milk                       

1-8 oz. can tomato sauce

Mix flour, eggs and half and half. In another bowl, mix cheeses together. Drain peppers. In a 1.5 qt. casserole or 9 x 9 pan, layer in 3 layers: peppers, cheese, then flour mixture. After last layer, pour tomato sauce over top and sprinkle with 1/2 C. cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 mins. or until firm and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Enjoy!

"Dump" Chicken

Haven't posted for awhile but thought this link sounded interesting:  http://whenthedinnerbellrings.blogspot.com/2011/06/super-easy-way-to-getting-meals-ready.html
Looks like a good way to have some different chicken meals ready to go--kind of like your "make ahead" meals, Michelle.
Bon appetit!  Think I'll try some of these the next time I buy a big tray of chicken from Sam's; I have to bag and freeze it anyway.

butter corn eggs sour cream monterey jack cornmeal green chiles salt parme

directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 2-quart rectangular casserole dish.

2. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup corn kernels with melted butter and eggs.

3. In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except Parmesan. Add pureed corn and mix well. Pour into casserole dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and bake for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

Cook’s note: If the top isn’t browned but the pudding looks set, place it under a preheated broiler for a couple of minutes, until golden spots appear. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Mether's Note:  To save time and energy, I combined the cheese and sour cream with the pureed corn, melted butter and eggs in the food processor.  Judging by the way everyone ate it up, didn't make a significant difference!

Linda's Tips:

·  To add more bite, sprinkle in some hot sauce, like Frank’s RedHot.

·  For an even cheesier taste, mix in some cheddar.

·  Pair the pudding with a spinach salad and roasted chicken for dinner.
