Add the contents of the package and stir well.  Bring heat to high (10) until water begins to boil.  Cover pot with a lid and bring heat to low heat (between 1 and 2) and let simmer until bottom of pan no longer shows liquid.  Stir rice and remove pot from heat.

Notes
  • The dish will require at least 3 packages of rice 
  • You may need more of the cream mix, just use equal parts of heavy cream and sour cream. 
  • The assembled dish doesn't have to be cooked, just heated.  If I'm not home by 5:00 please turn it on to warm.
