easy cheesy broccoli rice

By beandip

Ingredients

• Broccoli, I used about 2/3 of a cup. Cut them into little pieces. Little enough that they can steam quickly. Discard all of the stems.
• Minute Rice - 1 cup
• water - 1 cup
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (you will get a better consistency if you shred block cheddar cheese)

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan combine frozen broccoli, uncooked rice, water, and salt. Bring to boiling, stirring frequently to break up frozen broccoli.
2. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Return saucepan to burner. Over low heat, add cheese, stirring just until cheese is melted. If desired, serve in bowls and sprinkle with additional shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Makes 3-4 servings
