Equipment
- Large Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Cutting Board
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice not instant
- ½ cup spaghetti broken thin
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2¾ cup beef broth
- 2 tsp beef bouillon
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 4½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp carrots diced canned
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Let it foam and start to brown slightly; this adds a nutty flavor to your dish.
- Once the butter is melted, add the broken pasta and rice. Stir well to coat with the melted butter. You want to cook these until they’re lightly browned, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
- Add the remaining ingredients: beef broth, beef bouillon, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and diced carrots. Stir everything together to combine well.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. You’ll want to see some bubbles forming as it heats up. This is an indication that everything is mixing nicely.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid. This helps trap the steam and cook the ingredients evenly.
- Let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the skillet. You’re looking for the liquid to be absorbed and the rice to be tender.
- After the cooking time, remove the lid and check the texture of the rice. It should be fluffy and fully cooked. If there’s still liquid, let it sit on low heat for a few minutes longer.
- Once everything looks perfect, remove the skillet from heat. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
- Serve your delicious Homemade Beef Rice A Roni warm, and enjoy the comforting, savory flavors that make this dish a family favorite!
