Paraguayan Cheesy Rice

Scott made this on his mission to Paraguay, but it isn’t exactly something that Paraguayans are famous for eating. 

Paraguayan Cheesy Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rice (not instant)                                        
• 2 tsp. salt                                                            
• 6 cups hot water                                                     
• 4 hotdogs, cut into pieces
• 2 cups cut baby carrots, 1/4 inch pieces
• 2 cups shredded Munster cheese
• oil

Directions:

• In a large pot, pour enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, and place on the stove on medium-high heat.  Add rice and sauté until golden brown.  
• Add water, hotdogs, carrots, and salt.  Bring to a boil.  
• Reduce heat, cover the pot and let simmer for about 30 minutes.  Rice is done when all water is absorbed into it.
• Stir in cheese and serve.
• Side Note: Paraguayans eat a lot of hotdog buns as their “rolls” with their meal because they are cheap, so Scott always has us eat a hotdog bun on the side with our cheesy rice.
