Baked Rice and Cheese No. 1.

1 cupful of uncooked rice and2 tablespoonfuls of flour.
4 cupfuls of milk;½ pound of cheese.
or,½ teaspoonful of salt.
3 cupfuls of cooked rice and
1 cupful of milk.

If uncooked rice is used, it should be cooked in 3 cupfuls of milk. Make a sauce with one cupful of milk, add the flour, cheese, and salt. (See p. [23].) Into a buttered baking dish put alternate layers of the cooked rice and the sauce. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake until the crumbs are brown. The proteids in this dish, made with rice cooked in milk, are equal to those of nearly 1¾ pounds of average beef. If skimmed milk is used, the fuel value is equal to nearly 3½ pounds of beef. Whole milk raises the fuel value still higher. Estimated cost (see p. [23]), 28 cents.
