(Rice and Sour Cream Casserole)
(Jeanine's recipe)

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb. Monterey Jack cheese
• 3 c. sour cream, salted (Jeanine uses less)
• 2 cans peeled green chilies, chopped (Jeanine uses 1 - 1 1/2 cans)
• 3 c. cooked rice
• Salt & pepper
• 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the Jack cheese in strips. Thoroughly mix sour cream and chilies. Butter a 1 1/2 qt. casserole well. Season rice with salt and pepper if necessary. Layer rice, sour cream mixture, and cheese strips, in that order until you finish with the rice on the top. Bake in a 350° oven for about half an hour. During the last few minutes of baking, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the rice and allow it to melt before removing casserole from the oven.

NOTE: Peg sometimes adds cooked chicken to this and makes a meal of it.
