In a large saucepan, cook rice according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl, add the onions and garlic and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute, to soften onions.

When rice is done, add it to a large mixing bowl.

Mix well.

Transfer to the casserole dish.

Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup cheese.
