I can't think of a better way to use leftover cooked rice than this stovetop rice pudding recipe. It is pure comfort food in every bite. Rich and creamy, this rice pudding will warm you from the inside out. Although the recipe calls for whole milk, feel free to use skim milk if you prefer. It won't be as rich, but the rice pudding will still taste good. For variety, try using sweetened dried cranberries or cherries in place of the raisins.
