YELLOW RICE CASSEROLE
Here's another one I don't know where I got and haven't tried. Yellow rice is oldest DS's favorite food, so I have been meaning to make this for awhile. I don't know about the water chestnuts, DH is not a fan. If you get to this before me, let me know how it is! I don't know about the size of the mexicorn (this is a guess), but I think that it only comes in one size.

YELLOW RICE CASSEROLE (VEGETARIAN)
A family friend first turned me on to this dish. I warn you, it's addicting. Feel free to adapt to your personal taste (ie change the type of soup, heat of Rotel, etc.). One of the many wonderful things about a casserole. If vegetarian, please read the food labels before you buy. Most yellow rice mixes and cream soups contain chicken product. The ingredients I use below are completely vegetarian.
