I love rice-a-roni. Everytime we go to the grocery store I have to buy a box, I don’t know what it is about it I just love it, always have and most likely always will. Thankfully Adam likes it too! I saw this recipe a while back and knew I needed to try it because if I could make homemade rice-a-roni that would be just “shiney” as Adam says.
This tasted JUST like rice a roni to me, I “doctored” the recipe up so I have changed the recipe to reflect this.
Rice-A-Roni (Orginal From: Feeding the Firemen)
- 1/2 cup raw angel hair pasta broken into 1/2 inch long pieces
- 3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 2 cups broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- seasoning salt
- white pepper
- onion powered
- garlic powder
- bouillon cube
In medium skillet saute broken pasta pieces in butter, stirring constantly, until the pasta begins to brown. Add rice, stirring until the rice is well coated with the butter and the pasta browns a little more. Carefully pour in broth and water, spices and bouillon cube.. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed.

Made this tonight
It was really good! I agree with Rachel when she says it’s way better than the boxed stuff, although I do love that stuff too 
I made it as a side dish to my panko-breaded fried chicken. I didn’t have a bullion cube though so I just yoinked a seasoning pack from a package of Chicken Ramen Noodles. It worked just great. I’m excited to eat the leftovers 
Thanks for sharing!
