CHILI & RICE ON THE GRILL
(A quick and yummy recipe that goes great with any grilled or BBQ'ed meat.)

 

2 Cups Uncooked Rice
1 Pint Sour Cream
16 oz. Chicken Broth
2-3 Small Cans Green Chilies
2 Pkgs. Cheddar cheese
Salt & Pepper
Cook 2 cups white rice according to package directions but substitute chicken broth for water. Put aside to cool. Take cooled rice and stir in 2-3 cans of green Chilies drained (save some to sprinkle on top later) -- use mild ones for timid eaters -- along with a pint of sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste.
Spread evenly in a greased 8 x 12 casserole dish. Cover top of sour cream/rice mixture with two packages of shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle a handful of green chilies on top of the cheese.
Cook for 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees or till bubbly. If you do this on the pit you'll add a very nice smoked flavoring as well.
