rice pudding {the recipe}

Got leftover rice?

Fear not, I have a great way for you to use it up!

There are many great rice pudding recipes out there, this one may not be the best, but unlike many others I LOVE that it uses cooked rice, so I always have a way to use up our leftovers.

What you'll need:

* 4 eggs

* 2C. milk

* 1/2C sugar

* 1 Tbl. butter (melted)

* 1tsp. vanilla

* 1/4tsp. salt

* 2C cooked rice

* 1/3C raisins

* 1Tbl. Cinnamon

* 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven to 325. In medium bowl beat eggs. Blend in milk sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in rice and raisins. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake at 325 for about 40 minutes, then gently stir up rice and raisins from the bottom. Bake an additional 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted half way comes out clean. Serve and sprinkle with Cinnamon sugar.
