Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), and generously butter a casserole dish to prevent sticking.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and chopped green chilies until well blended, creating a tangy and slightly spicy mixture that will infuse the casserole with flavor.
-
Now, it’s time to layer the ingredients in the prepared casserole dish. Start by spreading a layer of cooked rice evenly across the bottom, followed by a sprinkle of salt and pepper to season.
-
Next, spoon half of the sour cream and green chili mixture over the rice, ensuring even distribution across the dish.
-
Sprinkle half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the sour cream layer, adding a creamy, melty texture that will perfectly complement the other ingredients.
-
Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of rice, salt, pepper, and the remaining sour cream mixture, followed by the remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
-
For the final touch, top the casserole with a generous layer of shredded Cheddar cheese, creating a golden, bubbly crust as it bakes.
-
Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes to one hour, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, emitting irresistible aromas that will tantalize your taste buds.
-
Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving, ensuring that each serving is filled with creamy, cheesy goodness that will satisfy your cravings and leave you craving more.
