Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 cans (198g) whole green chile peppers, drained
  • 8 ounces (227g) beef cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces (227g) Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can (142g) evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 120ml milk
  • 1 can (227g) tomato sauce


Instructions

  1. Collect all the ingredients. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and let it heat up. Coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange a layer of green chile peppers from one can at the base of the greased dish.
  3. Distribute half of the shredded beef cheese and Cheddar cheese over the peppers, then add another layer of the remaining green chile peppers.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, evaporated milk, and flour; if the mixture is too thick, you may add 120ml milk to achieve the desired texture. Pour this mixture over the chile peppers.
  5. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce over the top and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. Switch the oven to broil mode. Scatter the remaining shredded beef cheese and Cheddar cheese over the top. Broil until the cheese has melted, around 2 to 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy your dish!

Notes

  • Consider increasing the amount of milk in the egg mixture for a creamier texture.
  • Enhance the dish’s flavor by sprinkling spices like cumin or chili powder between the layers of cheese and peppers.
  • Thoroughly drain the green chile peppers to prevent excess liquid while baking.
