Tasty and easy. Instead of instant rice I used cooked rice I had on hand. I added the other ingrediants and nuked it all in the microwave until hot. I love cheesy rice dishes - this one is good and easy.

This was very easy and quick to make. It reminded me of twice-baked potatoes without the fuss! I'm considering adding bacon next go-around. Thanks for a quick side-dish!

I used uncle ben instant rice. I omitted the salt and pepper and butter. I used maybe 1/2 cup of part skim cheddar cheese. And I used fat free sour cream. I liked this recipe. It's great with the green onions. Thanks Lorac :)

I made this this evening for my family. It was quick and easy and and a nice alternative to plain boring rice. I did not have enough sour cream on hand, so I added half and half to extend the sc.

I made this on 7/12/08 for Lorac's Cook- A- Thon and as part of mine and SO's dinner. SO said he didn't care for it, but I really enjoyed the richness that the sour cream gave to this recipe. Since neither of us are green onions fans,so I left them off.But I will make this again. Thanks for posting and , "Keep Smiling :)"
