How to Make Rice Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 12x8 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the onion from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the sauteed onion with 3 cups cooked rice, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
- Layer half of the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Top with one (4 ounce) can of diced green chiles, drained.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat layers with the remaining rice mixture, chiles, and cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
