Recipe Notes
My crockpot wild rice was done in about 4 hours, but my slow cooker definitely cooks hot, so yours may take longer.Rice will get mushy if you hold it on WARM for too long in the slow cooker. So, as soon as my rice was tender and the liquid absorbed, I transferred it out of the crock pot and into a serving dish until dinnertime. I then just re-warmed individual servings in the microwave.Serving size: 1 cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.4*SmartPoints (Green plan)4*SmartPoints (Blue plan)1*SmartPoints (Purple plan)5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
