This was really yummy! My family and I loved it! My substitutions: instead of the Velveeta, I used medium cheddar that I cut into cubes (about 10 oz); I only had 1 cup of sour cream; and I used organic flax seed crackers that had a hint of a buttery taste and threw them in the food processor and topped the casserole with it without the additional butter. It tasted great! I will be showing up again for dinner some time in the near future :)

Easy to fix casserole that everyone enjoyed. Made early in the day and refrigerated until dinner time. Used an 11x7 dish for a half-recipe. Great use for leftover rice. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I have mixed feelings about this. It makes a ton! Which is great since everyone is on a tight budget (including us) and this definetly stretches the dollar. My husband loved it and took leftovers to work (he hardly ever takes leftovers - I'm still training him). Anyway, I found it okay. So I think four stars works out for this recipe and our family. I have been passing it around to family. I'm going to test it on our kids for dinner tonight. Thanks for posting!

Made this for dinner and the family really liked it, I used a bit more velvetta cheese and extra garlic powder. Thanks for a meal that will be made again. :)

My daughter and I made this for dinner and LOVED IT!! I followed the recipe exactly, only I cut everything in half, (our family is small) and it turned out perfectly!! My daughter said it is like Mac and cheese only with Rice. Big Hit & will be it making it again!
