    Very good! Will make again. Put a dollop of plain yogurt on top for a "sour cream" treat! Yummy!! - 10/20/09

    Great idea to add the dollop of yogurt. I'm glad you like the recipe. It is easy and impressive.

    I had to do some improvising...Didn't have evaporated milk so I used skim milk with a tbsp of corn starch, and canned diced green chilies. Still turned out pretty good, though the sauce was lacking in flavor (could have been my improvisation). Will make again with proper ingredients. - 9/3/09

    Yes, the rice is cooked separately.

    Sounds intriguing, but I wonder about the "mouth feel" of the skim milk versus the richness of the cream... - 9/19/09

    The cheese helps make it taste richer, but you are right; if calories are not an issue, cream is the best flavor.
