3/4 lb. Monterey Jack cheese
3 c. sour cream, salted
2 cans peeled green chilies, chopped
3 c. cooked rice
Salt and pepper
1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese

Cut Monterey Jack cheese in strips. Thoroughly mix sour cream and chilies. Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole well. Season rice with salt and pepper, to taste. Layer rice, sour cream mixture and cheese strips, in that order, finishing with rice on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. During the last few minutes of baking, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over rice and allow to melt before removing casserole from oven. Serves 6 to 8. This may also be made with macaroni or noodles or whole hominy substituted for rice.
