This is my Mom's casserole and it is MY VERY FAVORITE CASSEROLE ON EARTH.
This casserole is so good that you would flog your best friend unconscious with a
12-inch length of rubber hose just to get the last serving. Though I suppose you wouldn't
guess so, considering how it looks in this picture.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups COOKED rice
- 3/4 lb Monterey Jack cheese (cut into strips)
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (grated coarsely)
- 3 cups sour cream
- 1 can (7 oz) ORTEGA Diced Green Chiles

- Mix sour cream and chiles together
- Layer rice, sour cream mixture and cheese strips in buttered casserole dish, beginning and ending with rice
- Cover; bake at 350º for 40-45 minutes
- Uncover and sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over rice
- Allow to melt before removing from oven (about 5 minutes)
