"Another one of those "been in the family" dishes. It's a good vegetarian main dish, a great tex-mex side dish and great for potluck meals."

I made this for Pick-A-Chef. I'm glad I picked Windhorse, because this rice was just excellent. The peppers I used were jalapenos and the cheese I chose was Jack. I only used two peppers but thought I should have used three because I like the heat. I also added 2-tbsp chopped red pepper for color. It was easy to make and the baking time was exact. How good this would be to take to a buffet. I love this and will be making it often. Thanks for a keeper of a recipe!

I'm not sure if this is an honest review, as a) I forgot the peppers b)had no sour cream or cottage cheese and used creme freche and a pot of cheese spread. I also added a clove of garlic. And it was delicious!

I'm a psychotherapist who decided to start cooking creatively after years of resistance. I cook primarily vegetarian but cook with other ingredients when my family complains too much. I'm the mother of 3 sons, two of whom are grown, and I've been married since 1978. I cringe when I think back on the cooking my poor husband valliantly endured when we were first married. I collect cookbooks and frequent the thrift shops in my area for unusual finds. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
