"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was originally written so that there were layers of rice, sour cream/chilies, and cheese. It tasted good, but the rice got dry and the cheese got rubbery. I find it works best just to mix everything together. Don't overcook - just heat it up and melt the cheese. To reheat leftovers, add a little water, then microwave or bake.
