SWEET RICE
This recipe was given to me, upon request! We have a fresh Mex grill place here that uses sweet rice. This recipe is very similar to this restaurants. Use it on your fresh tortilla salads, or in burritos, on the side, any way you have it, it is darn good (and sweet!) NOTE: The amount of sugar makes it very sweet. You can alter the amount of sugar if you would like, just remember it is supposed to be sweet! Also, let the sugar dissolve in the stock so you won't have sugar that has sunk to the bottom of the pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart baking dish.

- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onions until translucent but not browned, about 8 minutes. Mix the cooked onions and the butter from the skillet with the rice, and stir in the half-and-half, salt, and 1 3/4 cup of the Swiss cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Swiss cheese over the top.

Tips:
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will ensure that the rice has plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: This will help to remove any starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
- Sauté the onion until softened: This will help to develop the flavor of the onion and add a nice caramelized flavor to the rice.
- Use a flavorful broth: This will help to add even more flavor to the rice. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
- Cook the rice over low heat: This will help to prevent the rice from burning and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.
