I made this as written, with all the cheese, because I LOVE cheese. The whole family liked it, and I plan on trying with chopped cooked chicken.

Definitely a keeper recipe. As mentioned by several other reviewers, I only used half the cheese called for in the recipe, and it was plenty. Overall, we really enjoyed the combination of flavors!

I've made a similar recipe before but added cooked chicken into the layers! It's a great main dish!

Excellent! I added a layer of sauteed mushrooms, onion and bell pepper seasoned with cumin. I also cut back on cheese a bit. This is a keeper and would be wonderful with shredded beef/chicken.

Very tasty! I used light sour cream and only used about 4oz. of cheese which was plenty. This was a big hit!

The ingredients in this recipe seemed so unusual that I just had to try it. It is truly delicious. I'm not sure why, it just is!!

I've made this twice in three short weeks; once bringing to a potluck. Only raves! Quite simple and uses ingredients that I typically keep on hand.

I'm so glad I came across this recipe. I made it last night with Ronaldo's Beef Carnitas. You can have it as a side or put it right in the tortilla with the meat. I used a package of Uncle Bens Wild Rice. Make sure you cook it with the seasoning packet. I reduced the amount of sour cream to 1/2 cup, the cheese to 1 cup and didn't drain the green chiles. I didn't bother layering, just mixed it all up in a bowl and poured into my pan. Yummy. I think you could really soup this up by adding sliced olives, mushrooms, sauteed onions, etc. You could even add some diced chicken and make it a meal. Very versatile.

I liked this! Mine wasn't dry at all. I left the rice a little watery prior to baking, and I used 1/2 cheddar and 1/2 jack cheese. The only thing I think it could use is a little more spice.

Very tasty! Everyone asked me for this recipe. I used the 6 oz Uncle Ben's Rice which took about 25 minutes to make (not instant) and I also sauteed mushrooms and onions for the first layer. I found only about 3 cups of cheese is needed as well(not 4). Delicious!

Easy and tastey! My grocer didn't have canned chilies so I used fresh, but I would recommend cooking/softening them - the crunch against the soft rice and cheese gave a weird texture. Great contrasting flavours; all my roomies gobbled up the left-overs!

This is a great dish, very tasty but it needs to be served right out of the oven so the cheese says melty.

This was very well done. Even when you make it all in lowfat-cheese and sour cream.I also used a box of Uncle Bens wild and white rice seasoned. It was a hit everyone liked it.But the next time I make it I will use a little more green chiles to give it a little more of a bite. This dish went very well with the Bourbon Pecan Chicken.

Oh, we all hated this one. Not sure what happened. I didn't find a 6 oz. rice package so I bought a box and followed the directions for 8 servings. Could have been too much rice. The recipe also calls for 16 oz of cheese. One 8 oz package of shredded cheese is 2 cups. Does the recipe really want 4 cups? I only used 2. It was really, really dry. Sorry.

I loved this recipe! My husband loved it and he doesn't even like sour cream. Next time I think I'll add chopped chicken to make it more like a meal.

This recipe is excellent! I was concerned that there wouldn't really be any flavor but I was completely wrong! I used our rice maker to make white rice and then followed the recipe from there. My husband is crazy about this recipe!!!

This is a great recipe. Rice can be a boring side, but this is so easy and so good. So much easier than making a risotto. I used 8 oz. Monterey Jack and 8 oz. cheddar and I was short about 2 tablespoons sour cream so I threw in some ranch dip (that I had made with sour cream) to make up the difference. Will definitely make again. I may throw in some shredded cooked chicken or a layer of prepared taco meat. Love it! Additional note: I browned 8 oz. ground beef and used 1/2 a packet of taco seasoning mix to make taco meat and added 1/2 on top of the rice and then the other half on top of the 2nd layer of rice. Awesome - my family loved it!
