clay pot
Chicken and rice is one of those frugal and easy dinners that every kitchen deserves. It is kid-friendly, tasty and comforting. What is not loving?
There are many ways to make this basic classic, but I love the subtle changes in this recipe.
Greek yogurt adds a creamy flavor, and Dijon mustard adds a rustic spicy flavor.
It’s simple, tasty, and has all the comfort you want in a casserole.
3. Slow cooker Authentic Spanish Rice
Authentic Spanish rice is a labor of love. The slow cooker gives it the flavor of traditional spiced rice, with a fraction of the work.

Chicken soup and slow cooking rice
Chicken noodle soup has nothing in this cozy
chicken and rice soup. This
recipe is my choice for busy nights, and there’s always a lot to share! This soup

Parboiled rice is key to preventing soft, overcooked rice in your soup

If you can’t find parboiled rice, cook the rice separately and stir before serving.

a frugal and hearty dinner that is very
easy
to
prepare.
It’s as easy as setting up and forgetting about Crockpot with recipes like these

. 9. Slow Cooker Beef Tips and
Rice Beef Tips
are one of my favorite slow cooker
recipes. The tender hearty meat and meaty sauce are irresistible to my eyes!
Stack the meat and sauce ingredients in the slow cooker, and let it cook slowly and slowly.

it’s best to brown the meat before adding it to your slow cooker
.
Then, add the remaining ingredients and cook for 2-3 hours over high heat
.
Top your Mexican casserole with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro. These fresh flavors balance the warm spice of the casserole itself.

cooker

know it should be very easy, but I can never make
fried rice come out right.
Luckily, this easy recipe from Crockpot makes the perfect stress-free fried rice!
It has tender teriyaki chicken, fluffy rice, bright vegetables and umami scrambled eggs.
It is recommended to stir the eggs separately and fold them, otherwise they will be absorbed into the rice.

Since rice
is such a versatile grain, I have to present my favorite rice dessert on this list. Maybe that’s why we say, “Save the best for last!”
The creamy, buttery rice pudding is flavored with hot spices and brown sugar. It’s comforting, slightly sweet and very easy to make!
