Since my husband's a Navy meteorologist, we've sampled food all over the world. I adapted this recipe from one I was given while we were stationed on the Aleutian Islands. Fresh meat was difficult to obtain in that part of Alaska, so I learned to make many meals featuring grains and legumes instead! We're looking forward to retiring soon to a small farm in central Maine. All three of our children were 4-H leader for 9 years.
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 to 16 ounces) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Directions:
1. In a greased small baking dish, combine all ingredients except cheese. Top with 1-1/2 cups of cheese. Cover and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes more. Yield: 6 servings.
