Chile Rice Casserole

3 C. cooked long grain white rice
Salt and freshly-ground pepper, to taste
3 C. sour cream
1 tea. salt
1 (7 oz.) can diced green chiles
3/4 lb. Monterey jack cheese, cut into strips
1/2 C. grated Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2-qt. casserole.

Season rice with salt and pepper. Combine sour cream, salt and chiles. In the prepared casserole, place a layer of rice, cover with a layer of the sour cream mixture, and top with strips of Monterey jack cheese. Repeat, making 2 or 3 layers and ending with rice on top. Bake for 40 to 45 min. or until heated through.

Sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted.
