Rice Sand Castles

Source of Recipe

by Mercyteapot, from Quick Cooking magazine, July/August 2003


List of Ingredients

3¾ cups cooked rice
3/4 cups frozen peas
3/4 cups frozen corn
4 ounces Velveeta or similar process cheese product, cubed
1/4 tsp pepper




Recipe

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted, stirring twice. To make sand castles, pack rice mixture into 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup measures; unmold and stack on dinner plates to look like sand castles.

The magazine showed a picture of these decorated with minature colorful flags, but I couldn't find any of those at our party store, so I bought some real cute colorful frou frou drink stirrers to use to stick in my rice castle to make it look more festive.
