Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (this seems to go in lots of cheese-based recipes?)
2 cups milk
3 cups of cooked rice (I prefer brown, but we had long-grain white. It was still amazing)
1 cup cheddar cheese
Directions
Start cooking rice according to the package instructions.
Saute the onion in the butter until tender. Add flour, salt, pepper, and mustard (this will make a roux-like mixture). Gradually add the milk while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add half of the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
In a casserole dish, layer in this order: rice, cheese sauce, grated cheese, rice, cheese sauce, grated cheese.
Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Enjoy!
Sorry about the lack of finished product pictures. You can image a nice golden-browned cheese crust. It was tasty. And soy-free.
