This creamy rice dish is a nice addition to a spicy meal. When I first tried it at a church potluck, I knew I had to have the recipe.—Laurie Fisher, Greeley, Colorado

Delicious. Even my dad, who doesn't like cottage cheese or sour cream, had seconds.

This was good, but not great. It definitely needs something extra, so I'll have to play around with it next time I make it. I'll definitely be adding more cheese, as it seemed to be almost non-existent among all the rice.

Did not look like the picture or taste anything like expected. This was not a hit on our table!

I thought it was fantastic. We ate it with salsa and it was great.

This was not quite as flavorful as I had hoped, but it was a nice side for spicier mexican dishes and I would make it again, although I would add a little more onion and some garlic I think.
