Pressure Cooker Cheddar Ranch Rice

Cheddar Ranch Rice is an easy and filling side dish that doesn’t take any effort to make by using an electric pressure cooker. It’s got a nice flavor that combines the melty flavor of warm cheese with the zip of ranch. This rice dish pairs well with almost anything. The recipe is naturally gluten-free, provided you check your ingredients. Here’s how I make Pressure Cooker Cheddar Ranch Rice.

Equipment Needed

• electric pressure cooker (I used a 6 qt Mealthy MultiPot.)
• silicone spoon
• measuring cup
• strainer

Ingredients

• 2 cups long grain white rice
• 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 packet ranch dip mix (Use a half packet for mild ranch flavor or a whole packet for stronger ranch flavor.)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 1/2 cups water

Instructions

Pour the water and olive oil into the pot.

Measure the rice and then rinse it out in the sink using a fine strainer.

Add the rice into the pot and make sure it’s covered by the water.

Set the pressure cooker to cook on manual high pressure for 4 minutes. (Set to cook for only 3 minutes if you like a very firm, al dente texture for your rice.)

Once the cooking cycle has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.

Move rice to a mixing bowl.

Add the sour cream, ranch mix and shredded cheese and combine thoroughly.

Serve immediately.
