Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

Uncooked rice

Broth
-
Diced onions
-
Butter, cut into small pieces
-
Pinch of salt and pepper
No stirring needed—the magic happens as it cooks.
3️⃣ Cook the Rice
-
LOW: 2–2.5 hours

HIGH: 1–1.5 hours
