Maria's Chicken Tamale Casserole

"Handmade chicken tamales on a bed of Spanish rice with a creamy tomatillo sauce and topped with a blend of Mexican cheeses. Serve with a tossed salad for a complete meal."

Ingredients :

cooking spray
2 cups water
1 cup white rice
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 chicken tamales
1 cup sour cream
1 (7 ounce) can salsa verde (green salsa)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions :

Prep : 15M	Cook : 6M	Ready in : 1H15M

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer rice to a large bowl. Add diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, garlic salt, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper and mix well. Spread rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer chicken tamales on top of rice mixture. Mix sour cream and salsa verde together in a bowl; pour over tamales. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over tamales. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is browned, about 10 minutes more. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes :

This casserole freezes well. We usually make 2 to 3 at a time, cover them well with foil and freeze for use later. You can put a casserole straight in 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven and bake for about 1 hour. Check the center to be sure it is hot.
Reynolds® Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
