Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow-Cooker Rice
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Rinse the uncooked rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from clumping.
- Dice the tomatoes if using fresh ones.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker
- Place the rinsed rice into the slow cooker.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder over the top. Stir everything together gently to combine.
Step 3: Cook the Rice
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat.
- Cook for 2–2.5 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- The rice is done when it’s tender and has absorbed the broth completely.
Step 4: Add Finishing Touches
- Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as needed.
- For an indulgent twist, sprinkle shredded cheese on top while the rice is still hot, allowing it to melt.
Serving Suggestions
This slow-cooker rice is versatile and pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes:
- Serve it as a side dish with grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
- Top with black beans, avocado, and salsa for a Tex-Mex-inspired bowl.
- Add a fried egg and scallions for a quick and hearty breakfast.
- Enjoy it as a standalone meal with a drizzle of hot sauce or soy sauce.
