Ingredients:

2 small cans (4 oz) of whole green chiles
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
1-2 teaspoons of cumin (optional)
1 tablespoon chile powder (optional)
2 tsp of garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef
1 3/4 C. half and half
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoon Atkins baking flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Rinse chiles, open flat and remove seeds. Drain on paper towels.

Brown meat with onion and garlic. Drain. Add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir.

In a 9x9 inch pan, layer the chiles on the bottom. Drain and add the beef.

Beat together the eggs, half and half, and Atkins flour. Pour this mixture over the chiles and beef. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the whole casserole.

Bake 45 min at 350 F. You might want to put the baking pan on a larger tray to catch any boil over.

Serve topped with sour cream, green onions, chopped lettuce, extra cheese or whatever your pleasure is.
