Rejoicing in Recipes: Green Rice Casserole

I am using this recipe, courtesy of MoneySavingMom, tonight. I am still trying to remember Mondays are meatless, but I often forget and pull out meat to defrost. Today, I remembered, so here's the meatless recipe. If I made it any other night of the week, though, I think I'd throw in some chicken to make it a meaty meal. :)

Green Rice Casserole

3 cups cooked rice (we use brown rice)
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1/3 cup chopped dried parsley (or 1/2 to 1 cup fresh parsley)
4 oz. can chopped green chilies
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, finely chopped (or 1/4 cup dry onion flakes) (can be omitted)
Combine all ingredients and pour into a 9″x13″ baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes longer. Serves 8-10. Freezable.

MoneySavingMom mentions this would go well with the brown bag burritos. I still have some frozen, so I might pull some of those out as well, since there's no main dish of meat to go with it.

I don't normally like to post recipes unless I've tried them already, but I think this one looks very tasty and pretty hard to mess up, so I'm posting it. :) Oh, I don't have a can of chilies, so I'm skipping that ingredient. I imagine it won't be as seasoned or flavorful, but I don't feel like running to the store for one ingredient that is probably NOT on sale.

Enjoy!
