Arroz con Queso (Rice with Cheese) image

My friend Jolene gave me this one. I think she got it from "Diet for a Small Planet". It's one of those "keep all of the ingredients on hand for emergencies" recipes. When you burn something, quietly get of it and make this. No one will know. Prep. time doesn't include cooking the rice.

The arroz con queso was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

The arroz con queso was good but it was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.
