Chile Cheese And Rice Casserole

---

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.

---

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.
