Our Favorite Baked Cheesy Rice
This baked cheesy rice is ridiculously easy and so delicious. It's a crowd pleaser that goes with almost any main dish and is a neutral staple in my recipe box! Cheesy, easy and fabulous!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dry jasmine rice, rinsed
- 24 ounces chicken stock
- kosher salt and pepper
- 6 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish (or a comparable size) with nonstick spray.
- Rinse the rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Place the rice in the baking dish. Pour in the stock. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese in and give it a quick stir.
- Add the butter slices all over the top of the rice. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes more, until the rice is fluffy and the top is slightly golden.
- Serve!
