These recipes work well to assemble and freeze in advance. Pull them out the night before you need to bake them and place them in the refrigerator to thaw; then bake as directed for each recipe. 5 pounds of meat will give you 5 casseroles unless you stretch the meat a little, which works for me! If you added onion when cooking the basic packages of meat, you can skip that step.

  bulletChili Relleno Bakebullet

1 pound of cooked and crumbled ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small cans chopped green chilies
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Mix together for sauce:
4 eggs, beat well

1/2 tsp. salt
dash tabasco

Layer half of meat, then garlic and chilies in a 2 quart casserole dish. Top with half of cheese, then rest of meat. Pour sauce over all. Freeze until firm. Cover well. Put other half of cheese into an airtight bag and secure to casserole. To use casserole: thaw, bake at 350° until bubbly. Top with reserved cheese and bake 5 minutes more.
