Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 6 cups of cooked rice
  • 1 container (8 ounces) of sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  4. Spread the rice mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Substitutions include using Monterey Jack or Cheddar for a milder flavor. Use fresh vegetables for the best taste and texture.
