Perfect 3-Step Rice

I have used brown rice-in-a-bag for many years.  It is an easy side dish, although rather dry and tasteless.  This white rice recipe is so much better!  The rice came out moist and flavorful, even before I put sauce on it.  Keep an eye on the liquid level.  That's really the only extra step.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Stir in rice, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and all grains are coated in butter, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt. Stir in stock, and increase temperature to high; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 18 minutes. Remove from heat; fluff with a fork, and sprinkle with pepper. Perfectly delicious every time!
