Scale
- Rice
- Thin spaghetti (or vermicelli), broken into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup parsley
- 1 1/4 cup chicken broth powder (or chicken bouillon)
- 8 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions
To Make the Rice and Pasta Blend
1. Mix equal parts rice and broken pieces of thin spaghetti. The amount depends on your family size. We mix up 20 cups total at a time, so that's 10 cups white rice and 10 cups broken pieces of thin spaghetti.
To Make the Chicken Seasoning
1. Mix all of the seasonings with the chicken broth powder (or bouillon). Store in a quart jar.
To Make Rice-A-Roni
1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pot.
2. Add 1 1/2 cups of the rice and pasta, and add 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture.
3. Cook in the butter until golden brown and slightly toasted.
4. Add 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Immediately lower to a simmer, place the lid on the pot, and cook on low for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid or mix during this time. After 15 minutes, fluff the rice & serve.
