This makes enough rice to feed a crowd. It is very good and tastes better than the boxed mix.
1/3 cup orzo pasta
1 cup long grain rice
2 tablespoons butter
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 3/4 cups water
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the rice and orzo. Stir constantly until browned.
Add in the seasonings and water. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat to low. Simmer covered for 20 minutes or until all moisture is absorbed.
