It&#8217;s known for its smooth texture, mild taste and vibrant orange color.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">What should I serve with this rice?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">As noted, it\u2019s tasty served with many types of meats and other savory foods. This creamy cheese rice is a comfort food, so it goes well with other comforting eats, such as a classic cheeseburger.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Can I make this with instant rice?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, you certainly can. Instant rice is almost as nutritious as regular long grain rice, so there\u2019s no reason not to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best part about this cheesy rice recipe is that it&#8217;s great both hot or cold.
