This is so very yummy. It's the only rice that my rice-hater likes, he actually got excited about it. I add some garlic powder when I'm adding the salt and pepper, and I only have 7oz cans of green chiles. Thanks for the yummy recipe, I made it twice last week.

This was fantastic ... I did, like most cooks, make some minor modifications. I added a Knorr chipotle bouillon cube and a packet of Knorr Sazon seasoning packet (found in the international aisle) to the rice before cooking. I sauteed 1/2 an onion and 2 cloves of garlic and added those to the rice mixture before baking. I was out of cilantro, so that got left out. This was some of the best Mexican style rice we've ever had. I WILL be making this again and again. Thanks so much for sharing.

I was actually about submit a recipe like this before I saw this one. Very similar to my aunts. She uses 2 bags of Success Rice... can't go wrong with that! Instead of sour cream, she used mexican cream. Similar but mexican cream is the best! Instead of the can of green chiles, my aunt uses chile poblano. She grills it, peels it and slices it very thin and long. She sautees with butter the sliced chile poblano, chopped onion and garlic. Instead of Monterrey Jack Cheese, she uses Queso Oaxaca which is mexican cheese... it's string-like. Awesome for quesadillas. She doesn't use cilantro but I'm sure that will make it taste even better! And instead of seasoning it with salt or anything else, she only uses Knorr Suiza. This is the real deal! Extremely Mexican! ;)

I have already made this several times. I LOVE it! My family's not into green chiles, so I leave them out - but it still has great flavor and feels like comfort food.

This was EXCELLENT and a definite keeper. I added chicken to mine to make it a full meal. I also added 4 ounces of cream cheese to make it creamier. YUM!

Pretty good, I did not have any cilantro, used some cumin. I will make it again. I didn't think it was too dry as some of the other reviewers did. Chicken would definitely be a nice addition to make this a main dish.

My husband was very skeptical of this and wrinkled up his nose at it as I was mixing it all together. Then he tasted it and a big smile just spread across his face. It was great and I will definitely be making it again.

This was really good. My husband loves cilantro so he really liked the recipe. 1 cup of sour cream and cheese is plenty. I added extra cheese and it was a little much. Follow exactly as written and it will be great!

This was very good and creamy, simple to make. It had a nice mild spicy flavor. I added about 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. This would really be good with some type of southwestern grilled chicken. I would make this again.

I made this recipe for a tex-mex dinner party. I left out the chile peppers b/c my mother can't take the heat and cooked the rice according to package directions using vegetable stock. It was a HUGE hit and everyone wished I'd made a bigger batch. Next time, I will adjust the recipe for a larger casserole dish. Hubby suggested making a meal out of it by adding black beans and vegan chicken strips. We'll make it spicy next time, too.

With some changes it was great. Here is what I did: Diced 1/2 onion, 1 bell pepper, combined with one can blk beans and 2c frozen corn, and heated in skillet with oil, garlic and 1T cumin, 1T cayenne, 2T paprika. I mixed the heated combo with rice cooked in chicken broth, 2 sm cans green chilis, tex mex cheese, 1 sm container reduced fat sour cream, and 3 lrg cans of chicken. Topped with a bit of the cheese, baked at 350 for 30 minutes and garnished with green onion. Served with salsa and quacamole -- everyone loved adding to the flavors to make it their own. Made this with the Margarita cake (though I made changes there too). Great Tex Mex nite with stuff I usually already have on hand.

This was really good. I combined it with Green Chili and Cheese Chicken on this site. Used fat-free sour cream and pepper jack cheese. Then I placed the chicken breasts on top, topped with more green chilies and more pepper jack cheese. Yummy! Next time I might use black beans instead of corn and add some onion and green pepper. Will definitely make again. Update: Just made this again with about 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and black beans instead of corn. Omitted fresh cilanto because husband doesn't like it. Put Green Chili and Cheese Chicken on top. This is probably the best Mexican casserole I've ever made or eaten! Absolutely wonderful!!

For our tastes, this needed a little kicking up, so I added in garlic and onion powders, a bit of cayenne and chili powder. Not a cilantro fan, so I left it out. All in all, a pretty good side you can certainly play around with. Thank you!
