This a wonderful side dish that my family has made often. However, I lost the recipe and my "guess work" never yielded what I was looking for. Thanks Engrossed for posting! We doubled the chilies and almost doubled the jack cheese. Plus, we topped it with shredded cheddar for more visual appeal. My mom used to sprinkle with paprika - the '50s answer to any plain looking dish! I am going to make this and pack it in mini-muffin tins and see if it will make good finger food.

I was tempted to mix everything together but so happy I didnt. This rice is very good and next time I will add a bit more of the mild green chilies. The cheese melts nicely between the layers and the rice is creamy and wonderful. Thank you Engrossed!

This was amazing....I was in two minds about trying it, partly coz I dont really like chilli, but DH loves it, so I made it for him to accompany a spicy prawn curry......well, we are hooked!! I could make it for him Every Night! I didnt make the night before, but will try that another time, but, wow, what a winner!! Unusual, tasty, and very easy. Will make for friends, I know everyone is going to say, OMG!!!! Thats if DH lets me make it for friends....he wont want to give it away!!

This was terrific, i used low fat sour cream as well. It scaled down to 2 portions very well too.

I tried this recipe for Thanksgiving. Every body had to bring a dish and I brought this. I did everything except put it in the oven. I put it in the crockpot the whole time. I think it was too much rice. I believe it feeds more than twelve people, more like twenty. I thought it turn out O.k. but it was not ooey gooey cheesy, it might have been because I put it in the crockpot only.It did look like the picture. I will make it again but not three cup of rice next time.

I loved this rice! I halved the recipe and used 2 mini loaf pans.I doubled the amount of chiles and was glad I did. It reminded me of the flavors in chile rellenos. I'll definately be making this again!

I didn't have much time to put dinner together last night, and this recipe really came to the rescue. I cooked my rice in the microwave (Mirj's Foolproof Microwave Rice - Perfect Every Time!) and then made two versions of this, with chili peppers for Sushiman and myself, and without for the kids (I hate that the kids are so picky). I didn't use canned chilis, I used some fresh Moroccan hot peppers insread. I don't know how the kids' version tasted, but based on the fact that it's all gone now, I suppose it was a success. I can tell you that my version had a great kick to it and was more deserving that the 5 stars I'm giving it. I made mine in the oven, not in the crock, it had a lovely, cheesy crust on top, which we fought over. I'm glad I tagged this recipe, Engrossed, it's a hit!

Very yummy and easy. I added more chilis and topped it with even more chilis after it cooked.

I made this for a potluck and it was excellent! Everyone wanted the recipe!!! Hmmm, might keep it to myself, but they know where my recipes are, so they might figure it out very nice. I made it in mini loaf pans and it made a beautiful presentation on a platter! Awesome dish..Thanks for another keeper Engrossed! ~V

This was delicious and went well with our mexican meal. I had quite a bit of the sour cream sauce left over so not sure if I did something wrong. The flavor was excellent. Thanks for sharing.
