Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Seasonings:

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

    2. Stir in the milk, garlic powder, and onion powder, then add the cooked rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through and milk is mostly absorbed, about 3–4 minutes.

  2. Add Cheese: Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Serve: Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked rice or reheat leftovers before adding to the cheese mixture for best texture.
  • Try adding cooked vegetables, bacon, or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
