Homemade Rice-o-Roni

 

This is even tastier than the store bought stuff and very cheap to make a

huge batch. With the leftover rice you can add leftover vegeburger or TVP or

soy " chicken " strips plus plenty of broth and you have a great soup for

lunches or another supper.

 

3 cups water

1 1/4 cups rice

1/2 cup spaghetti broken in small pieces (if gluten-free, use quinoa/corn

pasta)

3 tbsp. powdered beef-like seasoning or chicken-like bouillon

1/4 cup EACH chopped carrot, celery and onion

2 tbsp. margarine (vegan like Earth Balance)

 

Melt margarine in skillet. Add rice and spaghetti and cook until lightly

browned. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat,

cover

and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until water is liquid is absorbed and

rice

and spaghetti are tender.
