Sunday Dinner with Friends & Family;
Preheat oven to 350
Tomato Sauce
Pre-make, or buy your favorite tomato sauce-
My basic sauce includes;
Tomato sauce
Tomato paste
Olive oil
Garlic
Onions
Vinegar
Splash of beer, or white wine
Salt, pepper, & cumin
Drain the can of chiliโs slightly; split chiliโs with finger.
Lay split chiliโs on paper towels to rid of excess liquid.
1-27 oz. can โOrtegaโ Fire Roasted Whole Green Chiliโs
In a medium bowl mix:
1 ยฝ c. half & half
4 eggs
2/3 c. self-rising flour
Grate, mix & set aside
1 lb. cheese; I use my โsalad shooterโ grater and into a bowl I mix;
1/3 lb. Monterey Jack Cheese
1/3 lb. Very Sharp Cheddar
1/3 lb. Pepper Jack Cheese
Beat half & half, eggs & flour till smooth
In a lightly oiled, glass baking dish, layer;
Red sauce (enough to cover bottom of dish, lightly)
Chiliโs (to cover red sauce)
Cheese (to cover chili’s)
repeat;
Chiliโs
White sauce
Red sauce
Cheese
Bake at 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes +/-
Garnish with sour cream
I always serve this dinner with:
Vegetarian re-fried beans
Brown rice
Warm flour tortillas (heat on open flame, then wrap in a towel)
If I’m in a hurry and using store bought red sauce, I sprinkle between
the layers with some cumin, it’s one of my favorite spices and it add such flavor
to any Mexican meal.
enjoy!
