Rice-Green Chilies Casserole

For 15 years of my life I lived in various parts of Texas although I call Dallas my home. I try to go back once a year and would love to move back there! This cookbook is full of great Texan recipes, it's a keeper.

Joe and I really liked this rice casserole. It was easy to make and not spicy like I thought it would be. Next time I might add some cayenne pepper or something to create some heat to it.

RICE-GREEN CHILIES CASSEROLE
