Regular fluffy white rice is fine for most dishes, but it can't match the decadence of this parmesan rice. Thick and creamy, it's a great substitute for risotto if you don't feel like putting in the effort but still want an exquisite side for some fish or roast chicken.

1 cup long grain rice
OR
2 cups instant rice
1 can (12 ounce size) evaporated milk or whole milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in a little water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded real Parmesan cheese
Prepare rice according to directions.
To make sauce, whisk the milk and dissolved cornstarch in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the butter and salt and stir over medium-high heat.
When butter has melted, add the cheese. Stir until cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. When rice is ready, combine rice and sauce. Stir well.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
