I’ve expressed my love for Mexican/Tex-Mex foods before, so it’s no surprise that we really liked this dish. I altered a recipe that I cut off a box many years ago. I think it came from Uncle Ben’s instant brown rice, but I’m not positive. I adjusted the amounts, altered a few things and instead of cooking the instant rice with the other ingredients, I served it over regular brown rice. Yum!

Baked Potato Soup
My only complaint about this soup is that we only had enough left over for 3 people to have it for lunch the next day. It was so good, next time I’ll make a bigger batch.
I accidentally altered it a tiny bit from the recipe. I didn’t even realize that I’d made the mistake until I woke up at 1am and remembered that I hadn’t put the sour cream into the soup. Honestly, the soup was so good without it, I doubt I’ll ever add sour cream. (Am I the only one who wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about stupid things like sour cream in soup?)
