Baked rice with ham and cheese

Have some leftover rice so decided to try something different instead of frying it. I rummaged in the fridge and found some ham and cheese so thought I’ll try making baked rice for a change. It turned out very nice but I think the next time I cook it I will add some vegetables to make it more wholesome. 

Ingredients     

Cooked rice

1 packet mixed grated cheese

1 onion

150 gm sliced ham

2 tbsp tomato ketchup

Tear the ham into small pieces

Dice the onion

Melt 1 knob of butter

Add the onion and mix well with the butter

Add 2 tsp chopped garlic

Put in the ham and mix well

Turn off the fire and keep aside

Put the tomato ketchup, 1 tsp salt and pepper into a bowl and mix well

Put the cooked rice into a large mixing bowl

Pour the diluted ketchup onto the rice

Mix thoroughly

Add the fried ingredients and ½ the cheese

Mix thoroughly

Transfer the rice into an oven proof dish

Layer the remaining cheese on top of the rice

Put the dish into the preheated oven

Bake at 180 celsius until the cheese is slightly brown

Remove from the oven and let it cool

Dish out and serve with a salad or other cooked vegetables
