Chile Cheese and Rice Casserole image

A cheesy, good Mexican-influenced rice dish. I've served this often with great success. Originally from a local Methodist church cookbook from 20 plus years ago.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups sour cream (can substitute low fat)
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
4 cups cooked rice (do not overcook)
3/4 lb grated cheddar cheese (can use 2% cheese)
4 green onions, chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix sour cream, green onions and chilies.
  • Season rice with salt and pepper.
  • Spray a 1 1/2 quart casserole with cooking spray and cover with half of the rice.
  • Add a layer of half of the sour cream mixture and cover with half of the grated cheese.
  • Repeat layers starting with rice and ending with cheese.
  • Bake in a 350° oven until bubbly and the top is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
  • This can be assembled ahead and baked when ready.
  • Increase baking time if refrigerated, covering the top with foil if it browns too quickly.
