Poblano Picadillo Casserole
- 4 large poblano chiles, seeded and halved
- Cooking spray
- 1 (3 1/2-ounce) bag boil-in-bag brown rice (such as Success)
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Preheat broiler.
- Place poblano chile halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray; flatten with hand. Broil 16 minutes or until blackened. Place chiles in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and discard skins; cut chile halves into strips to measure 3/4 cup. Reserve any remaining chile for another use.
- While chile stands, cook brown rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain well.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Cook beef, onion, and garlic in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble beef. (Drain if necessary, and return beef mixture to pan.) Add rice, diced tomatoes, and next 9 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, 3 minutes.
- Spoon 3 cups beef mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with chile strips and remaining beef mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
- Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
