Cheesy Green Chili Rice

1 large onion, chopped
2 tbsp butter or margarine
4 cups hot cooked long-grain rice (I used brown)
2 cups sour cream
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 (4oz) cans, chopped green chilies, drained
2 cups shredded, cheddar cheese

In a large skillet, cook onion in butter, until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in rice, sour cream, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Spoon half of the mixture into a greased 11"x7"x2" baking dish. Top with half of the chilies and cheese. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 375 F for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.

Number of Servings: 6
