CHILE AND CHEESE RICE



Chile and Cheese Rice image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 1h3m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 large white onion, minced
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups water
2 ears fresh corn, kernels removed or 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 poblano chiles, charred, peeled, stemmed, seeded, and chopped * see Cook's Note
1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium-size heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute for until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook until the rice is opaque, about 10 minutes. Stir in the water and the corn kernels, then season the water with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a broiler. Using a fork, fluff the rice and stir in the chopped poblanos. Transfer the rice to a 7 by 10-inch flameproof baking dish. Drizzle with the creama or sour cream and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Broil until the top is browned in spots and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.
  • *Cooks Note: To char the chiles (or any fresh chile): Put the chiles over a gas flame or underneath the broiler and cook until they are blackened on all sides. Enclose them in a plastic bag and let stand for 10 minutes to steam, which will make them easier to peel. Peel, stem, and seed the chiles. Once peeled, the chiles may be chopped, sliced or stuffed.

Provided by pcur

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (6 ounce) package dry instant long grain and wild rice mix
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  • Prepare the instant long grain and wild rice mix according to package directions.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your casserole will taste. Use fresh, ripe vegetables, and high-quality cheese and rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked through but still slightly firm. Overcooked rice will make the casserole mushy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan, will give the casserole a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add some spice. If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Chile cheese and rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. You can add different types of cheese, vegetables, and meat. You can also adjust the level of spiciness to your taste.
