ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1⁄3 cup skim milk
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 4 ounces diced green chilies (fire roasted or not, to taste)
- 1⁄4 cup diced onion, to taste
- 1 diced garlic clove
- 1⁄4 cup breadcrumbs (add some parmesan cheese or asiago cheese, as an option)
- 1 - 1 1⁄2 1 -1 1/2 cup colby-monterey jack cheese or 1 -1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
directions
- Mix all together, except bread crumbs. Spray 1 1/2 qt (whatever size works to make casserole about 2' thick) ceramic baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Pour mixture in the pan, sprinkle top with bread crumbs and spray crumbs with olive oil (I love my Misto) or cooking spray to help it turn a light golden brown while it bakes.
- Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes, to a light golden brown on top, up to an hour. Let it rest about 10 minutes to cool and set.
- This recipe is very versatile and forgiving. Don't bake it more than an hour or it gets a bit mushy on the inside and too crunchy on top.
