Arroz con Queso (Rice with Cheese) image

My friend Jolene gave me this one. I think she got it from "Diet for a Small Planet". It's one of those "keep all of the ingredients on hand for emergencies" recipes. When you burn something, quietly get of it and make this. No one will know. Prep. time doesn't include cooking the rice.

This is a great recipe for arroz con queso. The rice is fluffy and the cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful. I like to add some diced tomatoes and green peppers to the rice for a little extra flavor.
