Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasonings

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is melted and well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
