Servings: 8
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
Chicken broth
1 chile jalapeño
1 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup half and half
1/2 cup sour cream
4 ounces Wisconsin Queso Quesadilla (or Oaxaca or Muenster) cheese, shredded
4 ounces Wisconsin Mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces Wisconsin Fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 16-ounce jar salsa, such as Frontera® Corn and Poblano or Amy's® Fire Roasted Vegetable
Cooking Directions:
Rinse rice in sieve until water runs clear. Cook according to package directions, replacing the amount of water called for with chicken broth and placing 1 whole chile jalapeño in broth. Do not overcook—al dente rice is preferred. Remove from heat. Discard chile. Fluff rice with fork. Spread on a cookie sheet so the grains don't stick together and cool.
Preheat oven to 400° Combine the creams in a bowl.
In large 9"x12" rectangular or oval baking dish, layer one-half the rice, salsa, cheeses and cream in that order. Repeat. Don't overfill dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Serve immediately.
