rice in crockpot??

I'm making chicken chili in the crock pot and there is a ton of extra liquid. I'm wondering if I can cook the rice right in the crockpot to soak up the extra?

I tried googling, but I can't find a good answer....

TIA!!

Re: rice in crockpot??

I know I did this once in the past. I googled it now and came found this recipe. You could just swap out the water for you liquid.

Ingredients
1 cup regular raw, white or brown rice
1 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Place all ingredients together in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

This Foolproof Rice recipe really does work, even with the small amount of water required. Covering the slow cooker and setting it on low effectively turns your slow cooker into a rice steamer. The rice will have the consistency of steamed rice and will not be the kind of "sticky Rice" that you would get from cooking it in a pot on the stove top.
