California Rice

An old standby side dish - easy to prepare the night before. Leftovers are great rolled up in a tortilla and microwaved for a fast and tasty breakfast!

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup plu 2 TBS uncooked white rice 
1 cup sour cream 
1 cup cottage cheese 
1 teaspoon basil 
1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper 
3 4 oz. cans of chopped green chilies 
2 cups cheddar cheese

Directions
Saute onions in butter. Cook rice. Add all ingredients together. Pour into 9 X 12 casserole dish (I have used a smaller, deeper version as well). Cook at 375 degrees, 25 minutes. Serves 8-10.
