Caramel Rice Pudding

Caramel rice pudding is a perfect dessert for the busy days. Cook the food and let pudding ‘bake’ in the crock pot. The secret to its creamy texture is plenty of evaporated milk. It is egg-less and every bit is equally good, which makes it ideal for a holiday dinner sweet treat.
