Slow Cooker Recipe for Cheesy Green Sauce Enchilada Brown Rice: this crockpot side dish is good enough to be a main dish! Creamy and cheesy rice and corn that’s almost risotto-like with just a little kick of flavor thanks to green enchilada sauce and green chiles.

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (15 oz) can green enchilada sauce

  • 1 tsp cumin

Notes

I used my 3 quart slow cooker for this recipe. I find that filling your slow cooker at least 2/3 full is the best way for slow cooker recipes to work out. I like this slow cooker from hamilton beach.
