this recipe originally from Campbell’s Soup is great
I made it differently but turned out great …..
Can you use long grain rice?
This recipe uses instant rice. Long grain rice won’t be able to fully cook in this recipe.
Wow very quick easy and delicious
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Amy!
Love this recipe! Makes rice a little less boring and much more scrumptious!
Flavor is all there but I followed the directions exactly and mine came out kind of soupy. Still good though!
Glad you enjoyed it, Virginia!
Loved this. It reminded me of a good creamy risotto without all of the time and stirring. I’ll definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper.
3 stars for the good concept. But it did NOT cook in 5-6 minutes after I let it boil and take it off the heat. I had to put it back on hear for a good 15 or so minutes after that.
This recipe uses Minute Rice or Instant Rice which cooks in about 5 minutes. Other types of rice will need longer.
