Description
This Cheesy Green Chile Rice Casserole is a comforting, flavorful dish with creamy chicken soup, bold green chilies, and gooey cheddar cheese. Perfect as a side dish or main course, it’s easy to make with only four ingredients.
Ingredients
1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Notes
For a heartier dish, you can add cooked shredded chicken or ground beef.
To adjust the spiciness, use more or less diced green chilies, or add jalapeños for extra heat.
Make it vegetarian by using a vegetable-based soup instead of cream of chicken.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If making ahead, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
This casserole can also be frozen before baking. Thaw in the fridge and bake as usual.
