My husband said this tastes so good and rich, it could be a dessert! A definite keeper! I used the cooking method described in Perfect CrockPot Rice #16465, including a slow cooker liner. I doubled this recipe, subbing chicken stock for the water, and I used 1/2 of the dill indicated because children were included as dinner guests and I wasn't sure they would like that much dill. We just finished washing the dishes, and my husband asked me if I could serve this again tomorrow night I call that a successful recipe!

My dad went home tonight with the recipe for this one. He could not stop talking about how good it was. Very moist rice with a flavor boost from the lemon and dill.

The lemon and dill added a real nice flavour to the rice and I thought the butter made the rice taste creamy. Very nice combination.

My family loved this dish. I served with a roasted chicken and some steamed veggies. It rounded out the meal very well. I should also note that I reduced the amount of dill by half.

This was a wonderful and easy dish. I added extra garlic and fixed it in the rice cooker. Served with marinated asian tuna and stir-fried vegies. Wonderful meal. Will definately use this dish with other meats. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup game Nov.2009.
