Jalepeno Rice with Cheese
Saute' in oil: 1 cup white rice, until clear. Do not brown. Add 2 cups cold water, salt, wedges of 1 onion, 1 clove garlic, sliced. Cook until fluffy. In oiled Pyrex (I use a 2 qt round) but probably any will do, put one layer of rice, one layer of sour cream and top with shredded Monterry Jack cheese. Bake at 350 until hot and cheese is bubbly.
mix the sour cream with a small can of sliced chili peppers for some good zip!!!
