"This is my favorite rice dish. We usually add a chopped hot pepper too for heat. Also, I like it best with Campbell's soup. We have tried to use cheddar cheese but it is not as good. Mom says you can make it with instant rice but I do not like it as well. If you used brown rice, increase the cooking time a bit."

This is one of my favorite things that my Emaw makes!! Thanks mom for posting it :) It is sooooo flavorful and moist! I like it best with banana peppers because I do not like it too hot. I have also made it and added chopped onion and topped it with sliced cheese. You have to try it! Thanks mom!!

Riff thanks for hooking me up with this one. I was lucky enough to find a fresh crop of hatch chilies at the market. I used two hatch chilies, 2 banana peppers and 1/2 a hot red pepper for heat. The colors were beautiful. I did have to add a little chicken broth while it was baking but maybe only a few tablespoons. This is really delish! I served it along side grilled pork chops. Tell mama see is famous at my house! We love it!

DD and DH really like this. I used low fat cream of mushroom, 1% milk and brown rice. I had a large fresh banana pepper and also part of a red bell pepper and part of a green bell pepper. So I just diced them all and threw them in. The directions didn't saw if I should cover it or not when baking, so I put the cover on. It wasn't near finished after 40 minutes so I took the cover off and put it back in the oven until it was done. Not sure what the total cooking time was, but it worked out ok as my main dish finished about the same time. Next time I'll know not to cover it. Served with Broccoli and Meat Loaf.

I had a little bit of trouble getting the rice to cook it took about an hour and 15 minutes, I ended up covering it the last 30 minutes, but once it cooked it was really very good. I used a blend of sweet peppers and threw in a half of a habanero and it was very tasty. I will make this again.

Potentially a great recipe for me, but I was disappointed to discover that it was NOT possible to use brown rice. It would not become tender- I ended up having the casserole in the oven for over an hour and a half, often adding more milk. Very frustrating, and it never did cook completely. I gave up and served it when it was just edible.
