Mexican Sour Cream Rice

 An excellent side dish for a Mexican meal - or to make a meal like Taco Soup or Enchiladas stretch further.

Cook 2C long grain white rice in 4C chicken broth. (Bring to boil on stove, lower temp to low and let cook for 20mins/until broth is absorbed and rice is cooked/tender)

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13

Mix all below in the pot with the rice, once it's done, and stir - season to taste with salt & pepper. Only use 1C cheese, and save the other 1C to top.

2 C sour cream

2 (4oz) cans diced green chile peppers, undrained

2 C shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, divided

2 (8.75 oz) cans whole kernel corn, drained (or use frozen)

1/2 C finely chopped cilantro

salt & pepper to taste

Transfer the rice mixture to the 9x13 and top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered 30 mins until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Can use other cheeses for different flavor.

Can be made ahead and reheated, but cooking time will be longer if reheating from room temp or cold.
