This is a recipe given to my Mother by friends in the 70's? I was forbidden to share it but I like sharing and think everyone should have a chance to try it! It's ooey gooey cheesy yummy! It uses "mild" green chilies not hot ones. Everyone that tries it requests the recipe. It is very bad for you but worth having at least once a year for a potluck. I've had friends try to make it with lowfat or nonfat ingredients and it doesn't work. I also have tried mixing all the ingredients together and it doesn't taste as good, the layers matter (even though they melt together)! I usually double or triple it and bake it in a removable crock from my crockpot then put it on low in the crockpot for potlucks. If you do this the layers are still the same but double or triple the amount in each layer. I usually assemble it the night before and put it in the oven right before the event. For extra gooeyness add extra jack cheese in the layers to completely coat them. Remember for a single recipe: you are using 3 cups of "cooked" white rice which is made from 1 cup of dry rice. One cup of cooked rice per layer (3 layers). Enjoy! Very yummy with my Chicken Chile Verde Enchiladas.

Good Heavens lady we NEEEEEEED you back at the library...I miss you very much, and EVERYONE misses this dish. This is probably the most terrible thing you can do to your waist, and simultaneously the MOST AWESOME rapture your tongue can handle without going numb! Isn't that always the way. Engrossed you sooo ROCK!!!

    Wow! This was fantastic! I absolutely love chilis rellanos and the taste was almost identical. I don't dare make this very often, tho', as it is extemely rich. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe

    This a wonderful side dish that my family has made often. However, I lost the recipe and my "guess work" never yielded what I was looking for. Thanks Engrossed for posting! We doubled the chilies and almost doubled the jack cheese. Plus, we topped it with shredded cheddar for more visual appeal. My mom used to sprinkle with paprika - the '50s answer to any plain looking dish! I am going to make this and pack it in mini-muffin tins and see if it will make good finger food.

    I was tempted to mix everything together but so happy I didnt. This rice is very good and next time I will add a bit more of the mild green chilies. The cheese melts nicely between the layers and the rice is creamy and wonderful. Thank you Engrossed!
