  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: In a saucepan, bring beef broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a boil. Add rice, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff and set aside.
