THE best part about this recipe is that it's great both hot or cold. It's a dish I make often since cheese and rice are staples in my pantry and because it travels well, I like to take it to a picnic or a barbecue.

My husband, who hates rice, couldn't stop eating this. I've used instant rice also with good results.
