Cheesy Rice
"I got this recipe years ago from a Kraft magazine ad. It is a family favorite and a great way to use up left over rice. Makes a great side dish to grilled meats. Prep time includes time to steam rice. Prep time using leftover rice is about 5 minutes"

Perfect, I made it for the grandkids and it was a big hit. Thanks!!!!!!! -
Yummy!!!! We loved this! I didn't have cayenne but just sprinkled some Emeril's Essence. I also used some salt and pepper and topped it off with a little more grated cheese. Wow! Perfect pared with grilled porkchops and grilled brussel sprouts (Alton Brown's recipe). Turns hard leftover rice into a super quick side dish. Just what I was looking for! -
I doctored up this recipe adding a full rottesirie chicken shredded, a full bunch of steamed crisp asparagus cut to bite size pieces. 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp each garlic powder and onion powder with some cracked black pepper. I doubled the rice ingredients. I also added French fried onions on top. Baked at 350 for about 30 mins. Delicious

Great for your health teacher that keeps saying "cheese and rice" whenever something slightly abnormal happens in a middle school. -
Turned out just like the picture! I just used whatever cheese I had laying around, but still tasted great. Thanks!

Add all ingredients in a fry pan and do the same. keep on low heat at first till cheese melts, and watch that you dont form a cheesy skin, unless you like that..stir well.... Fantastic recipe for rice cheese and you can also add small bacon strips....similar taste to spaghetti carbonara... YUM! Cooked this while my wife was away...no mistakes .. too easy.... -
Plain Greek yogurt for sour cream; ancho chile powder for cayenne; feta on top

I live right outside Wash DC in a Maryland suburb. I work for the federal government (doesn't everyone in DC?) For fun I cook/bake, garden, ride motorcycles, and love on my 4 dachshunds. I am also a Reiki practitioner which helps me feed my need to nurture and heal. Cooking is a creative outlet for me, and a way to show love to my friends and family. I LOVE good tasty home made food. Married to a meat and taters sort of guy, but we have developed a don't ask, don't tell arrangement when it comes to trying my cooking. His tastes have really expanded since our marriage.
