Cheatin' Chile Relleno

My granny didn't make many casseroles, but this was one of them. Cheatin' Chile Relleno... it can be done, start to finish, in about 30 minutes. Serve it up with some rice & beans and add some sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
I have never made it as a breakfast casserole, but I think it would taste amazing with breakfast sausage, too! I just might try that next time. :-) Y'all go make you some!

Cheatin' Chile Relleno

1 lb ground beef
1 4 oz diced green chiles, drained
1 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt, divided
3 eggs, separated
1/2 TBSP flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream, guacamole, salsa for toppings (optional)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Brown beef & drain. Add green chiles. Beat egg whites and set aside. Beat egg yolks, add flour & salt and mix until smooth. Fold in egg whites until well blended. DO NOT BEAT. You want them to remain fluffy. Put 1/2 of the egg mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 9 casserole dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with beef mixture. Cover with cheese. Spread remaining egg mixture over the top and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Top with condiments as you like.
