This low carb family favorite is easier than it looks, and oh so tasty! Serve it up with some Mexican Restaurant Rice for a hearty weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
Taco Seasoning (per 1 lb. ground beef or turkey):
- 1 Tbsp The Real Texas Style rub
- 1 Tbsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp. The Real Homestyle rub
Casserole:
- 7-10 poblano peppers
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 medium yellow onion
- 1 1/2 c. half and half
- 1/3 c. flour
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 tsp. The Real Homestyle rub
- 2 c. shredded cheese (we use Mexican style)
- Dash hot sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat poblano peppers with olive oil and place on a baking sheet in the oven for approx. 30 minutes, rotating every 10 minutes, until waxy outer skin of peppers darkens and begins to bubble. Remove from oven and transfer to a metal bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes. Once peppers have rested, remove skin, stem and seeds and set aside.
- Reduce oven temp to 375 degrees.
- In a medium skillet, add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until starting to soften. Add ground turkey (or beef) and cook until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until seasoning incorporated thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, flour,1/2 tsp. Homestyle and hot sauce. Set aside.
- Layer 1/3 of the roasted poblanos in a greased 9×13 pan. Top with 1/2 of the meat mixture, followed by 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat with peppers, then meat, then cheese. Top with remaining peppers and cheese. Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole.
- Cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking until egg mixture is solid in the center. Allow to stand 5 minutes before serving.
- Top with sour cream, avocado, hot sauce, cilantro or green onions (or any combination thereof!) and enjoy.
