Turned out just as expected. It got an A from my 13 year old and a "little bland" from my 15 year old. I should have used a bit more red pepper (I barely put any in). I used brown rice that I had previously cooked and frozen. It wasn't completely thawed when I put the dish in the oven so I ended up extending the cooking time to bring it to temp. It didn't burn and the sour cream did not break down. Great recipe - just what I needed for a side dish tonight.

I was hesitant about baking this with the sour cream as I thought it might curdle but it was amazingly good! I actually used leftover tomato rice which worked fine so I'm sure other leftover rice would be goodtoo.

Very good for leftover rice. I put the ingredients in individual ramekins because one of my kids won't eat cheese so his is made without it. We all love the recipe.

This was a great option for the kids for lunch. Awesome alternative to mac n cheese. The sour cream definitely makes this recipe delish!

Tasty, easy and a great way to use up leftover rice if you have it.
