Green Chile Cheesy Rice Bake {Fun Friday}

Happy Fun Friday!

I posted a picture of my Green Chile Cheesy Rice Bake recipe on Instagram and asked if you’d like to see it for Fun Friday.  The answer was an overwhelming yes!  This is a recipe that my husband and I have been making forever.  I haven’t shared it because it’s just one of those recipe that we make when don’t know what else to make.  With only 5 ingredients, we all love it and it’s just a last minute type of recipe.  You can make it all in a skillet or if you prefer to make it as a casserole in a 9×13 pan.

Green Chile Cheesy Rice Bake...what we make when we don't know what else to make.  It's easy and delicious. #easydinner

This picture was just snapped with my phone so excuse the lack of artistry.  This is a great recipe to make when you have cooked rice left over from a previous meal.  Even if you don’t have cooked rice you can easily make minute rice in 10 minutes.  We always use the minute brown rice for a little extra nutrition.

Green Chile Cheesy Rice Bake
Makes 6 servings
Prep time:  30 minutes  
1 lb ground turkey sausage (or other kind if you prefer)
2 cups cooked rice*
1 1/2 cups salsa or picante sauce (mild, medium or hot)
2 (4 oz) cans green chiles
1 cup shredded cheddar
1.  In a large skillet, brown the
turkey sausage over medium high heat.  Drain off any excess grease.
2.  Add in the cooked rice, salsa and
green chiles.
3.  Stir and heat up the rice and
salsa.
4.  When heated through sprinkle the
cheese on top and serve when melted.  Alternately, you can pour the rice,
turkey, salsa and chiles into a baking dish (I use a 8×11 glass dish) and then
sprinkle the cheese on the top.  Bake for about 10 minutes in a 400ยฐF oven and then serve.
*We like to use the minute brown rice and cook it while the sausage
browns.  I’ve also 
substituted orzo and it was really
yummy as well.

    We enjoyed this very much! Easy to make, we used sweet sausage, and it was easy to make for supper on a Sunday night, only 20 minutes to cook, hearty, and enough leftover for tomorrow! Thank you for a good recipe!!

      no, not if you use mild sausage. If you use spicy sausage then it would be hot. The green chiles just add flavor, not heat!

    Are you interested in attaining enlightenment and personal growth?

    Try doing the following two yoga exercises daily:

    Sodarshan Kriya Yoga

    Sat Nam Kriya Yoga

    Are you interested in preventing and curing cancer, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, and many other common diseases using an inexpensive, natural indian spice called turmeric?

    Take two teaspoons full of turmeric powder mixed with a cup of warm soy milk (or any kind of non-dairy milk that you'd like). Also eat 2 or 3 black peppercorns along with it, as the pepper helps your body absorb the turmeric better. You also need fat for the turmeric to be absorbed properly, which is why drinking turmeric mixed in water won't work. You have to drink it with milk or some fatty based liquid. Do this twice a day and you will start to feel amazing within a couple of weeks.

    Lastly, please read the following two ancient indian scriptures which talk about the divine love of God:

    Ananda Vrindavan Campu PDF

    Govinda Lilamrta PDF
