Picadillo

[SmokinEdge]

This is just comfort food around here. There really isn’t a recipe per say it’s made more on the fly by eyeball just home cooking, but if anyone is interested I’ll try to give some good idea of ingredients amounts. This follows close to my New Mexican taco meat recipe with some changes. Find that recipe here,

Picadillo is basically that taco meat with fresh tomatoes added. By itself it’s delicious comfort food, but here I get in the ditch a bit and combine a Chile relleno twist.

Picadillo finished in the skillet. This was done with fresh ground pork but beef is more traditional.

Now we build a nice layer of Picadillo in a cake pan, we are making a casserole of sorts.

Here we make a layer of roasted green Chile stuffed with cheese. This is the start of the relleno part.

Here we pour over an egg mixture with a little milk beaten well.

Cover with grated cheese to be baked until cheese is brown.

All done. You can see that egg around the edges, it’s all through the dish and browned slightly.

Plated with beans, avocado and Elote corn dish. Now this is comfort food to me. So delicious.

Thanks for looking. I’ll break it down best I can if you like, but it’s all very simple for a cook to assemble.
