Description

This versatile Onion-Flavored Rice Mix is a convenient pantry staple designed to deliver quick, aromatic comfort food with minimal effort. By combining long-grain rice with savory onion soup mix and a touch of salt, you create a flavorful base that transforms into a fluffy, savory side dish in minutes. The resulting rice is tender yet distinct, carrying a rich, savory onion essence that complements roasted meats, stews, or simple sandwiches. It is an ideal solution for busy weeknights, potlucks, or as a hearty addition to a buffet spread. Keep this dry mix on hand to have a delicious, home-style meal ready to go whenever hunger strikes, eliminating the need for multiple seasonings during cooking.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the uncooked long-grain rice, salt, and contents of the onion soup mix packages in a large bowl.
  2. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. To cook, measure 1 1/3 cups of the prepared rice mix into a medium saucepan.
  4. Add 2 cups of cold water and 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine to the saucepan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring once to prevent sticking.
  6. Cover the saucepan, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
