Rice in the Crock Pot

I had no I idea that rice could be made in the slow cooker. I wish I had known about this little gem a long time ago!

I used a 1 lb bag of rice, 6 cups of water, 2 cups of chicken broth (optional as you could use water only), 1/2 cup diced carrots (again optional).

Throw it all into the slower cooker and cook 2 hours for white and 4 hours for brown rice. 

Unfortunately I let mine cook a little bit too long. Oops! It is still good, just changed the texture a little. 

I served it as a side with grilled chicken and green beans. Then I divided up the rest and put it into the freezer. I foresee adding cream of chicken, maybe broccoli and cheese. Really the possibilities are endless.

May your day be filled with joy and contentment!
