Shredded Beef Chile Relleno Casserole

by Pam on December 2, 2012

I had leftover shredded beef^[1] from my favorite taco recipe^[2] and extra taco fixings in the refrigerator to use up. Instead of making more tacos, I decided to throw it all together and make a chile relleno casserole. It was fun and simple to make, smelled amazing while it baked, and tasted fantastic. I loved it topped with the fresh avocado, tomatoes, and green onions and served with homemade salsa^[3] and sour cream.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine eggs, flour, and sour cream together then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; mix thoroughly.

Add a layer of the chiles evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread a bit of shredded beef (click this link for recipe)^[4] over each chile then sprinkle with a few black beans and top with a bit of shredded cheese. Drizzle half of the egg mixture over the top of the cheese. Repeat by laying down the remaining chiles, shredded beef, and black beans. Drizzle the remaining egg mixture evenly over the top then sprinkle with the cheese so it’s evenly covered. Place the olives evenly over the top of the cheese.

Place into the oven and bake at 30-35 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing and topping with green onion, avocado, and tomato. Serve with sour cream and salsa. Enjoy!

Tuscan White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup (Crock Pot Recipe)

Creamy white bean soup, with roasted garlic and a touch of sage. So simple and inexpensive to make, and so so good. Leftovers can be frozen.

This started out as an experiment, and ended as a soup. I never know what to expect when I throw something in the slow cooker, I wanted to see if I can cook white beans in the crock pot without soaking them first. The answer is yes you can; it took about 3-4 hours on high. But they basically looked like cooked beans in water, not like a thick pot of beans that I imagined so I quickly fixed that and turned this into a great tasting soup.

As a kid, I remember my Mom pureeing all my soups to make me eat them. As an adult, I tend to still like my beans pureed in my soup. You can leave some beans whole as I did to give it some texture, or blend the whole thing, up to you.

My method for roasting garlic is a little unconventional, I peel my cloves before roasting because I prefer not to have to do it after. Completely up to you how you roast your garlic, the end result is the same. If you are pressed for time, and wish to skip the roasted garlic, it will still taste wonderful. I personally think adding them makes it go from good to great.

Note: if you want to make this vegetarian, substitute the chicken bouillon for vegetable.

Servings: 7 • Size: little over 1 cup • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 6 pts
Calories: 241 • Fat: 3 g • Carb: 41 g • Fiber: 6 g • Protein: 15 g • Sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 322 mg (without added salt)

Ingredients:

1 lb dry Cannellini beans, rinsed
1 head garlic, peeled
8 cups water
4 sage leaves, plus more for garnish
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp chicken Better Than Bouillon, or cube (vegs us vegetable bouillon)
kosher salt and white pepper to taste

Directions:

Place beans, 3 cloves of the garlic, water and a few sage leaves in the crock pot; cover and set to HIGH 4 hours, or until beans are soft. Don’t add salt.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°. Place remaining garlic cloves in the center of a 7×7 inch square of aluminum foil (photo above is showing half of the cloves, use the whole thing). Cover garlic with olive oil and a little salt. Seal aluminum tightly and place in the oven 25-30 minutes, until garlic is soft and golden. Remove from oven and set aside until the beans are done.

When the beans are soft, add the bouillon and mix well until dissolved, then carefully some of the beans and liquid along with the roasted garlic to the blender. Blend until smooth and pour it back into the crock pot. Repeat with the remaining beans until you get the texture you desire. You can also use an immersion blender if you have one. Taste for salt and adjust as needed.

Serve with fresh sage and white pepper on top and if you wish, some whole roasted garlic cloves on top. (I reserved a few)

Makes about 7 3/4 cups.

Eggnog Pancakes

What’s better than waking up to pancakes for the Holidays! I swapped out the milk in my whole wheat pancake recipe and replaced it with Silk Nog and some extra nutmeg for a fun Holiday twist.

Why Silk nog? I checked the labels of all the eggnogs available in the supermarket, and Silk Nog had the cleanest ingredients, and only 90 calories per serving. It’s also non-GMO, and perfect if you are lactose intolerant. If you like another brand of light eggnog, you can certainly use it in it’s place. I topped mine with a little honey and powdered sugar, but you can use maple, agave or your favorite toppings.

Today I am giving away this cute Holiday pancake set from Nordic, available at Target^[1], so head on over to Skinny Bits^[2] for a chance to win!

If Eggnog is not your thing, check out these other fabulous pancake recipes:
