Easy microwave rice

This is my basic rice recipe. It works for any amount of rice - and doesn't leave the rice sticky.
Place
    1 T butter
in a 1 to 1 1/2-qt casserole. Microwave on high for 1 min. Add
    1 c uncooked rice.
Stir to coat rice. Microwave on high for about 1 min. Add
    water
to cover completely by about 1/2 inch. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes for the rice to absorb the liquid.

Broccoli Rice Casserole

Place

• 1 T butter, and
• 1/2 c chopped onion

in a 1 to 1 1/2-qt casserole. Microwave on high for 1 min. Add

• 1 c uncooked rice.

Stir to coat rice. Microwave on high for about 1 min. Add

• water (plus, if desired, 1/4 c chicken broth)

to cover. Add (in layers)

• 1 to 2 c chopped broccoli,
• 1 c shredded cheese (I used cheddar cheese.), and
• 1 can cream-of-celery (or cream-of-mushroom) soup.

Do not stir. Cover. Bake at 350F for at least 30 min.

Savory Cheese Rice

aka Weidman Rice (after a friend of ours)

1/3 c finely chopped green pepper
1-1/2 t. salt
1/2 c sliced green onions
3/4 c. white rice
3 T. butter (or oleo)
1 c. cubed Cheddar cheese (1/3lb)
2 c canned tomatoes (1 lb can)
1/2 c white dinner wine (sauterne)

Sauté green pepper, onion & rice in butter until tender. Add tomatoes, salt, and wine. Cover & cook over low heat for 25 min. or until rice is tender (or in microwave set on high for about 8-10 minutes). Just before serving, add cheese. Heat briefly .

OK to substitute: Port Salut cheese & water (or juice) for cheddar cheese and wine; tomato sauce or can of crushed tomatoes for canned tomatoes
