I LOVE this recipe. I have discovered that it is a very versatile casserole. I have added chicken, hamburger or ground turkey, and ham to it different times and it always tastes great. i also wanted to let you know that it adds so much more flavor if you add the green chilies, undrained to it when you cook the rice. It is great if you don't but it adds sooo much flavor in my humble opinion. Thanks for posting this one.
