Tex Mex Rice Bake

Before coming to the United States, had never had Spanish rice before and quickly became addicted. Decided to experiment with a recipe using the same flavors as Spanish rice. Crossed my fingers and hoped for the best and it turned out delicious.

Ingredients

4 cups uncooked rice
5 cups water
2 chicken stock cubes dissolved
1 medium onion diced
1 large green pepper (capsicum) diced
1 cup chunky salsa
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup cream
4 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 360F.

In large baking dish combine all ingredients except for cheese and mix together.

Bake in oven until rice has absorbed most of the liquid. Add grated cheese and continue baking until all liquid has been absorbed and cheese is melted and golden brown
