Somebody brought this to our dinner party last night and it is DIVINE! I had to have the recipe and Mary was nice enough to share it with me and so I wanted to share it with y'all.


Cheesy Mexi-Rice Casserole

INGREDIENTS
1 quart water
2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, with liquid
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained
1 (8 ounce) package Mexican-style processed cheese food, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 3 1/2 quart casserole dish.
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in rice, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes.
In a wok or large skillet, heat the broth and saute the garlic, bell pepper and onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, cream-style corn, Mexican-style corn, whole kernel corn, diced tomatoes with chiles, green chiles, Mexican-style processed cheese, salt, pepper and chili powder. Spoon into prepared casserole dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Top with shredded Cheddar, cover and bake 5 minutes more. Remove from oven, uncover and let stand 10 minutes.
