Cheddar Rice

Makes 8 to 10 servings

 
INGREDIENTS:
    2 cups uncooked brown rice
    3 Tbsp. butter
    1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
    1 tsp. salt
    5 cups water
    2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    1/2 tsp. pepper
    Additional sliced green onions

DIRECTIONS:

     1. Combine rice, butter, green onion, and salt in slow cooker.

     2. Bring water to boil in a saucepan and pour over rice mixture.

     3. Cover and cook on high 2 to 3 hours or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.  (I found 3 hours was slightly too long, rice got slightly mushy)

     4. Stir in cheese 5 minutes before serving

     5. Garnish with pepper and additional green onions, if desired.
