Instructions

  • Alright, foodies, let's dive into cheesy rice, the ultimate comfort food that's like a warm hug in a bowl. This cheesy rice recipe is easy, indulgent, and straight-up delicious perfect for lazy weeknight dinners or when you're in the mood to flex a little in the kitchen without actually trying too hard.
  • Let's make it happen. Start with 1 cup of long-grain rice, rinsed and ready to soak up all the flavor magic. Toss it into a medium pot with 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, because plain water just isn't the vibe here.
  • Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and the broth is fully absorbed about 15 minutes.
  • While the rice is doing its thing, grab 1 cup of frozen broccoli, thaw it out, and chop it into cute little pieces that'll add a pop of color and crunch.
  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff it up with a fork, then stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter for that rich, buttery base.
  • Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder—because garlic makes everything better and toss in your chopped broccoli. Stir it all together over low heat,
  • letting the flavors mingle like a well-curated playlist. Now comes the star of the show: 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Add it gradually, stirring as it melts into the rice, creating that dreamy, creamy texture we're here for.
  • If the mix looks a little thick (or if you're in the mood for extra creaminess), splash in some milk or half-and-half to loosen things up.
  • Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the rice is coated in cheesy, gooey perfection. Serve this recipe of cheesy rice hot, straight from the pot, and watch it disappear in minutes.
  • It's the perfect sidekick to grilled chicken, a hearty bowl of chili, or honestly, just on its own with a spoon and a good Netflix binge.
  • Creamy, savory, and packed with cheesy goodness, this dish is proof that comfort food doesn't need to be complicated.
  • One bite, and you'll see why this cheesy creation deserves a permanent spot in your dinner rotation!
