need a recipe for the "flat" chile rellanos?

Question

not the kind thats a stuffed pepper but the flat kind with some kind of meat on the bottom (not sure what it is) cheese on top with some peppers cut up in it

Answer 1

This is made sort of like a casserole, it's similar to what you might find in a restaurant. It is one of my favorite dishes.

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound chorizo or other pork sausage
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
2 cans (4 ounces each) whole mild green chiles, drained and seeds removed
2 cups Cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese mixture, divided
4 eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
few dashes Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper

In a large skillet, brown sausage and ground beef, breaking meat up as it cooks. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender; drain well. Line a 9- x 9-inch square baking dish with half of the whole chiles; top with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese.

Add browned meat mixture then top with remaining chiles; set aside. Beat together eggs and flour until smooth; add milk, salt, and Tabasco or cayenne pepper. Pour egg mixture over casserole. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted around the center comes out clean. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the hot casserole. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Answer 2

If you find one let me know. I'd like that recipe too. I LOVE peppers. Grow my own.

Answer 3

That doesn't sound like any chile relleno I've ever had... It kind of sounds like a type of queso flameado (and no, it isn't like saganaki)
