Recipe(tried): Individual Relleno Casseroles - Another low-fat favorite, June

Main Dishes - Casseroles
This is also an older Cooking Light magazine recipe adapted to suit us. I make individual casseroles since my husband can't eat beans and it is necessary to leave them out of his.

INDIVIDUAL RELLENO CASSEROLES

Two 1 3/4 cup square corning ware casserole dishes, sprayed with Pam (important!)
1 chicken breast half, ground
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
dash of black pepper
1/2 of a 16 oz. can fat-free refried beans
1 can (4 oz.)whole green chilies, drained and cut lengthwise into quarters
1/2 cup colby-jack cheese, divided
1/2 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed and drained
3 Tablespoons flour
dash of salt
1/2 cup plus 3 Tablespoons fat-free milk
dash of hot sauce (we use Red Devil brand)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
chopped cilantro for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook ground chicken breast and onion in a non-stick skillet over med/high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from heat and add cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and refried beans. Stir well and set aside. Arrange 1/4 of the chili strips in the bottom of each casserole. Sprinkle each casserole with 2 Tablespoons cheese. Spoon mounds of turkey mixture onto cheese, dividing between casseroles evenly. Spread gently, leaving a 1/4" border around the edge of each dish. Divide corn between casseroles evenly. Arange remaining green chiles over corn, dividing them evenly between casseroles. Top each with 2 Tablespoons cheese. Mix flour and salt in a bowl, gradually add milk, hot sauce, egg and egg white, stirring with a whisk until blended. Pour over casseroles, dividing evenly between them. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until set; let stand 5 minutes after removing from oven. Garnish with onion slices and cilantro. Makes 2 servings.
(a 4.5 oz. can of chopped green chiles can be substituted for the whole chiles, if desired)
