Spring Hill Ranchs Gringo Green Chile Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tablespoons of the lard. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, sprinkle the flour over pork cubes. Using a wooden spoon, stir the pork to coat. When the lard is hot, start browning the pork cubes about 1/2 pound at a time. Once nicely browned, remove the cubes to a bowl.
• 2. Add the remaining lard to the pan to heat. When it's hot, add the onions and cook them until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until they are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in the green chiles, jalapeño, tomato, chicken broth and water, stirring to make sure all the browned bits are loosened from the bottom of the pan.
• 3. Transfer everything in the pan to your large slow cooker. Stir in the pork cubes. Cover and cook the chili on low for 4-6 hours, stirring every once in awhile to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. Stir in the cumin, and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

• 3. Mix one package of corn muffin mix in a large bowl with 1 egg and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, mix the second package of corn muffin mix with 1 egg, 1/2 cup of milk and half the cheeses.
• 4. Spread the prepared corn muffin mixture without cheese into the prepared baking dish - it will be a very thin layer. Sprinkle the corn over the muffin mix, followed by the black beans and then the remaining half of the cheeses. Then layer on the beef mixture. If using, spread the sliced green olives over the top of the meat. (In some regions, finding a green olive in your tamale is a sign of good luck.) Spoon the corn muffin mix with cheese on top of the beef and carefully spread it over the top with a fork, leaving about an inch from the edges of the pan. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown on top.
