I've been making this dish for years. We lovingly refer to it simply as cheesy rice. It's easy to make and totally delicious. My kids absolutely gobble it up. Two cups of rice may seem like a lot, but we only had three adults and two young children at dinner and we were scraping the pan. I mean seriously, when was the last time you did that with rice? Give it a try! You'll end up scraping the pan too!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups rice
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
1. In a large saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high eat. Add in the onion and sautee for 3-4 minutes.
2. Add in the rice and toast for another 3-4 minutes.
3. Add in the broth, cover the pan, and bring the broth to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until all the broth is absorbed (about 15 minutes).
4. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, white pepper, and salt. Enjoy!
