Chile Cheese And Rice Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
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\u00b0 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.
