• 3/4 cup white rice
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

• 1 (15 ounce) can white corn, drained
• 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned

Directions

1. Combine water and rice in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Mix flour into the butter slowly, stirring constantly. Whisk in milk a small amount at time until smooth.
