Chile Cheese Rice

Chile Cheese Rice

This is a great side dish that my mother used to fix for our family when I was a child. It goes with just about any main course, and it's easy to prepare. The mild spice of the chilis provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of pork and the mildness of chicken or lamb. It makes a hearty side dish for beef too. It can be used as part of a Mexican meal, at a barbeque, or with left overs. Once you've tried it, you'll fix it over and over.
