Baked Rice

We really love rice at our house.  Really, really love rice.  ALMOST as much as potatoes!!!  ;)  I'm just not in love with all the sodium and MSG in the boxes of Rice-a-Roni and what not.  Thankfully, we have this yummy recipe for one that tastes better than that boxed stuff.

Baked Rice

2 cups dry rice (NOT minute rice)

1 cube margarine

Saute for 10 minutes in pan.

Add:

1 tbsp. minced onion

1 tbsp. parsley

Stir well, pour into large casserole dish.

Add:

6 chicken bullion cubes

6 cups water

Bake covered for 1 hour at 350 degrees

You can add any vegetable to this such as peas, carrots, celery etc. or cooked chicken is also very yummy.

I like the versatility of this recipe because although the one I have typed above calls for chicken bullion, you can substitute beef or vegetable bullion to go along with whatever main dish you are serving with it.
