Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe combining ground beef, Beef Rice-A-Roni, and beef broth:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 box Beef Rice-A-Roni
- 1 small can (about 14 ounces) beef broth
- Water (as per Rice-A-Roni package instructions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Brown Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks to ensure it’s crumbly.
- Prepare Rice-A-Roni:
- While the beef is browning, prepare the Beef Rice-A-Roni according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves sautéing the rice and vermicelli in a bit of butter until golden brown before adding water and seasoning.
- Combine Beef and Rice:
- Once the ground beef is cooked and the Rice-A-Roni is ready, combine them in the skillet. Stir well to mix.
- Add Beef Broth:
- Pour the small can of beef broth into the skillet. Mix thoroughly. The beef broth will add extra flavor and moisture to the dish.
- Simmer:
- Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, and the broth to be absorbed by the rice.
- Season:
- Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Keep in mind that the Rice-A-Roni already contains seasoning, so adjust accordingly.
- Serve:
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, your dish is ready to be served. You can garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
This quick and easy beef and rice dish makes for a satisfying and flavorful meal. It’s a great option for busy weeknights when you want something delicious and comforting without spending too much time in the kitchen.
