Green Chili Cheesy Rice Bake

• 1 lb turkey sausage (or other kind if you prefer)
• 2 cups rice (cooked)
• 1 12 cups salsa (mild, medium or hot) or 1 12 cups picante sauce (mild, medium or hot)
• 2 (4 ounce) cans green chilies
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. 1.
2. In a large skillet, brown the turkey sausage over medium high heat.
3. Drain off any excess grease.
4. 2.
5. Add in the cooked rice, salsa and green chiles.
6. 3.
7. Stir and heat up the rice and salsa.
8. 4.
9. When heated through sprinkle the cheese on top and serve when melted.
10. Alternately, you can pour the rice, turkey, salsa and chiles into a baking dish (I use a 8x11 glass dish) and then sprinkle the cheese on the top.
11. Bake for about 10 minutes in a 400F oven and then serve.
12. *We like to use the minute brown rice and cook it while the sausage browns.
13. I've also substituted orzo and it was really yummy as well.
