Made this with the long grain rice & some homemade vegetable broth, then cut back a little on the salt, while substituting lemon pepper for the usual pepper! Also included a rounded measure of lemon zest, & we were very pleased with this side of rice, & the keeper recipe you provided! Thanks so much!

I'm not going to give this a starred rating because I made it with brown rice. It turned out pretty good but a little mushy. I think this one has potential as an oven baked rice with cheese. Made for the Photo tag game.
