Mexican Rice Casserole
My husband and I grew up having Mexican Food on a regular basis and we just love the Mexican or Southwest flavors in our dishes. This is a great Mexican Rice that we just love and hope you will enjoy it too.
Mexican Rice Casserole
two 14.5 ounce cans whole tomatoes
One 10 ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles,
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
6 to 8 cups Chicken Broth
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar
Next, add the whole tomatoes, diced tomatoes, cumin, chipotle chili powder, dried cilantro salt and pepper. Stir to combine and let cook, about 2 minutes. Finally, add the chicken broth and stir the mixture together. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer until the rice is not quite done, 10 to 15 minutes.
Top with the cheese, and then bake with the lid off until the cheese is melted and the rice fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
