This was such a yummy casserole. My 3 year old ate 3 bowls of it. This recipe actually made 2 casseroles, which was probably good since we ate an entire casserole in one meal.

- 2 cups of brown rice cooked
- 3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese for casserole, plus a handful to sprinkle on top
- 2 onions (I put these in the food processor until they were pureed so my kids would eat them.)

- 1 T chili powder

Mexican night is always a huge hit at my dinner table! Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. See you again next week.
This sounds delicious, and I like that it uses healthier brown rice. The tortilla chips would make it a real treat too! Thank you for sharing this post with Let’s Do Brunch.
