With the hustle and bustle of the holidays and the time crunch that always occurs, fast and easy recipes are necessary. But cutting corners can sometimes lead to less tasty foods. Fortunately, one of my favorite side dishes that everyone loves, Cheesy Bacon Rice, can have the prep time cut in half by using products like Minute® Rice. Minute® Rice is ready to go into any recipe in just 5 minutes. If you are a rice lover like me, you know that is a fraction of the time regular rice takes!

My Cheesy Bacon Rice calls for 2 cups of rice. Rice that normally would take 20 minutes to make. With Minute® Rice., I am getting this dish into the oven to cook in less than 10 minutes. Regular prep would be almost 30 minutes.

This recipe would be awesome with any of the product line. The Minute® Rice family of products includes Minute® White Rice, Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice, Minute ® Multi-Grain Medley and a variety of Minute® Ready to Serve Rice products. Because all of the products are ready in no time, they all fit well with this dish.

Minute® Rice is so versatile and can make any meal you love in half the time. After the holidays, with leftover ham and turkey, think of something you can make to combine the two. A Cheesy Ham Bake or simply stirring in turkey pieces to rice with a Cajun seasoning would be awesome!
