Time 45m

Yield 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups steamed rice (hot or cold)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (sharp is best, but use whatever you have)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a greased baking dish, mix together all ingredients.
  • Bake at 350 degrees until heated thru and cheese is melted.
  • About 20 min or so. Dig in!

Tips for Making the Best Cheesy Brown Rice:

  • Use a good quality brown rice. Look for a brand that is organic and non-GMO.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a large pot for cooking the rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to expand and cook evenly.
  • Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed. Do not stir the rice while it is cooking, as this will make it gummy.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the cheese, butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the cheesy brown rice immediately. It can be served as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Cheesy brown rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and calcium. With its cheesy, flavorful taste, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
