Beer Rice Recipe

Ingredients for Beer Rice

• 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• Red Pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup beer (lager or pilsner recommended)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

How to Make Beer Rice

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper. Saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice, 1/2 cup of your favorite beer (lager or pilsner recommended), 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper to taste.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
4. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Garnish with extra thyme leaves, if desired.
