Green Chili, Cheese and Rice Bake

This is one of my comfort foods. It is so delicious! I grew up with my mom making this and it has become one of our family favorites as well.
This tastes better, in my opinion, if you use white rice.

    This sounds so yummy. I’m taking this to our next church potluck. Thanks for sharing.

    I am assuming that this recipe does not use ‘instant rice’ and wonder about cooked and uncooked rice combined together. Does the uncooked rice get tender enough? With thanks.

      No, I’m sorry the recipe calls for 6 cups of cooked rice only. I have “(2 cups uncooked)” in parentheses because that is how much uncooked rice you need in order to make 6 cups of cooked rice.
      And I do not use instant rice.

    This was so yummy! We doubled the chopped green chili’s and will probably add even more next time! Otherwise this was just so quick, easy, and delicious. Thank you!

    Are all of your recipes designed to feed your family of 8 or have you pared them down for your blog? We’re also a family of 8 (plus twins in heaven). Thanks! LOVING your blog! Chaos to Order is my 2016 mantra. 😉

      Thanks Toni! I generally have them scaled down for the blog, this one is not- it’s the amount I normally make. 🙂
