Notes
- If using the minute rice or instant rice, be careful when mixing so you don’t turn the rice to mush. Just gently fold the other ingredients in.
- It’s fine to substitute other types of cheese. A good cheddar is also good as is any melty cheese like a gruyere cheese!
- Try topping your rice with a crunchy and buttery topping like ritz crackers or crushed up potato chips mixed with butter.
- Make MORE by doubling the recipe and baking in a 9x13 baking dish.You will definitely want to spray the pan first before adding the rice, it can be a sticky dish.
