ENCHILADA RICE

*This is such an easy dish.  My husband just loves it!  I don’t make it very often, but when I do, he thinks I’ve really done something special.  

1 pound ground turkey

¼ cup chopped red and green bell pepper

¼ cup chopped onion

1 package enchilada mix (use taco mix if you can’t find enchilada mix)

1 can of Rotel tomatoes (I can’t find these in Canada so I use regular canned, diced tomatoes and then add jalapeno peppers and green chilies to taste).

2 cups cooked white rice (substitute brown rice if you wish)

8 ounces shredded fat-free Velveeta cheese (or regular velveeta cheese or Mexican-style shredded sharp cheese).

Instructions:

*Brown the ground turkey with the onions and peppers.  Add the enchilada mix and tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes.  Stir rice into turkey mixture.  *Place rice and turkey mixture into a square pyrex baking dish that has been sprayed with PAM.

*Place cheese all over the top.

*Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.  Place aluminum foil over the top if it becomes too brown before cooking is finished.
