Season it all with salt and pepper, give it a stir, and cover the dish tightly with foil.
The rice cooks slowly in the pan, absorbing the liquid, releasing its starches, and creating this great creamy consistency. With an optional sprinkle of cheese on top!

Extremely dry and tasteless.I even reduced the rice to 1 cup instead of 2 as I thought the recipe didn’t have enough liquid and I wanted it creamy.Leftover went in the garbage.
Hello Betty Cox! If you soak the rice for 30 minutes, you will have more water and liquid. Can reduce rice or increase cream
This recipe is missing steps. For example, where does the sour cream go? Another – it says cheddar cheese separated, but how, and where does the first half of the cheese get used?
Thanks Kevin k
