South of the Border Casserole

Like many of our great favorites, this was inspired by cleaning out the refrigerator!

4 cups leftover cooked rice
1 - 10 oz can chili
1/2 cup breakfast sausage crumbles
handful of sliced black olives (leftover, or optional)
1/2 cup leftover refried beans
1/2 cup water
1 T tomato bouillon
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes

In a large bowl mix together the rice, chili, sausage, olives, refried beans, Ro-Tel, water, and bouillon. Spoon half of the mixture into an ungreased casserole dish. Top with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Spoon the other half of the mixture into the dish. Cover and bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle 1/2 cup grated cheddar on top. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Serve with sour cream and corn tortilla chips.
