Roast the chiles for both dishes. Meanwhile, chop the veggies for the saute. Once the peppers are ready, cooled and peeled, assemble the casserole. As it bakes, saute up the chili bean saute. Serve the chile beans on top of the casserole cut into pieces for each diner. A dollop of cool sour cream or Mexican crema is a great compliment.
This simple egg bake puffs up like a souffle but when it falls flat no one is really sad because it is all about the roasted chilies and oozy cheese in the center. The eggs are simply there to keep those both together. We give directions to start with roasting your own fresh anaheim chilies, but in much of the southwest and Colorado you can buy them easily from farmers already roasted. If you can’t find either fresh, frozen or canned roasted hatch chilies are very easy to find.
Ingredients from a comforting bowl of chili are made into a quick saute that is on the table in a flash. This is great on top of something starchy such as rice, grits, polenta or even a pile of Lime Sweet Potatoes. Extra protein such as a sprinkle of cheese or your favorite meat would be lovely too. Hatch chilies are easy to find roasted, fresh, frozen or canned, but anaheim chilies substitute nicely and are easy to roast if necessary.
