Parmesan Rice Pilaf image

MY Mom found this recipe in a local newspaper years ago and it has been one of our favorite side dishes for a long time. The original recipe was a little bland, so I have doctored it up a little. Sometimes I make more than I need for one meal so I can have leftovers.

This pilaf is a staple in my kitchen. It's so versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes. I love that it's easy to make and always turns out perfectly.

Not bad, but not great. The rice was a bit dry and the flavor was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pilaf turned out delicious. I used brown rice and added some chopped mushrooms and peas. It was a great side dish for grilled chicken.

OMG! I just made this Parmesan Rice Pilaf and it was a hit! My family devoured it in minutes. The flavors were so well-balanced and the rice was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
