Cheesy Rice
This delicious rice dish is cooked with milk and broth, before adding cheese after it's cooked. Add broccoli for a more complete side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Long Grain White Rice , rinsed
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- ¼ Cup Onion , diced
- 2 Cloves Garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1½ Cups Milk
- 1 Cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese , grated
- 1 Cup Broccoli Florets , chopped finely
Instructions
- Rinse your rice and drain. Chop up your veggies and grate your cheese.
- Prepare a medium sauce pan (with a lid) on medium high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil and cook the minced garlic, chopped onion, and salt, until onions are translucent.
- Add in the rice and cook with the onion and rice for a minute to crisp it up. Add the milk and the broth to the pan and bring to a simmer.
- Place the lid on the pan and turn the heat down to a low simmer. Cook the rice for 15 minutes or until most of the liquids have cooked into the rice. Try to not overcook the rice.
- Take the cooked rice off of the heat. Place the grated cheddar and chopped broccoli into the rice and stir to fluff up the rice. Serve hot and enjoy!
