Homemade Rice-a-roni

Homemade Rice-a-roni

1 cup rice
1/2 cup broken up angel hair pasta
2 T. margarine or butter

1 T. seasoning (McCormick Grill Seasonings work well for this!)

3 cups water
1 T. bouillon (chicken, beef, vegetable)
OR
3 cups broth

Melt Margarine in pan. Cook rice and pasta in margarine until it starts to turn a bit brown. Add in remaining ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and all to sit for an additional 5 minutes.

If you are feeling really awesome you can combine the rice and broken pasta in a canister ahead of time (Example: 6 cups rices and 3 cups pasta). Then whenever you want Rice-a-Roni, just scoop of 1 1/2 cups of that mix and add in the remaining seasonings and water.

If you know you only like one flavor, then you can go ahead and mix all the ingredients together in a canister and then to make it just add the water and cook as directed.
