Easy Rice A Roni Bake Recipes

CHICKEN RICE-A-RONI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Prepare Rice-A-Roni according to package directions. Add soup, sour cream and chicken. Stir to combine.
• Spread rice mixture in a lightly sprayed 9x13 pan. Top rice with fried onions. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

RICE-A-RONI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown beef in a skillet; drain off grease.
• Place drained beef in a large bowl. Add seasoning packets from rice mix, soup, and water. Whisk until thoroughly blended. Mix in rice and noodles from boxes.
• Place in a greased 9 x 13" glass casserole dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• Remove from oven and stir thoroughly, making sure to scrape the bottom of the casserole, so the rice isn't sticking.
• Return it to the oven and bake 10 minutes more, sprinkling the onions over the top for the last 3 minutes.

CHICKEN RICE-A-RONI®

Steps:

• Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
• Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
• Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
• Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
• Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
• Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
• Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.

EASY RICE-A-RONI BAKE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the Rice-a-Roni as directed on the box. When it is done, set it aside.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl put in the sliced green onions, the water chestnuts (drain them first), the celery, the artichoke hearts WITH the oil(if they are whole ones, chop them up), the mayonnaise and salt/pepper if using. Add the cooked Rice-a-Roni and mix to combine. This is where you would add cooked chicken or ham if desired.
• 3. Put the rice mixture into a 13x9 un-greased baking dish. Bake for 40 min, uncovered.

SPANISH RICE A RONI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with onions and bellpepper. Drain grease.
• In a dutch oven prepare both boxes of rice a roni to box directions.
• When rice mixture comes to a boil, add hamburger with onions and bell pepper to rice, add in cans of corn and cajun seasoning. Bring mixture to a boil and cover. Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir often to prevent rice from sticking. When rice is done, add cheese, stir and serve!
• I always add more hot sauce to my plate of food, but I love the twang of hot sauce.
