I didn’t have everything thing I needed for seasoning so I used what I had and made a couple changes to. I mainly used this for cooking the pasta and rice. This came out great. Makes a lot more then box of Rice-A-Roni. I added ground beef in it and was really good. It’s a great dinner idea if you have a bigger household to feed. My husband and I had the leftover’s today and there is still some left. It’s garlic bread goes great with it too. I’ll probably be making this instead of buying Rice-A-Roni.

Really good! I made this but I cut the water down to 1 1/2 cups. 2 cups is too much.

I think the amount of liquid varies by which pasta type is being used. Angel hair pasta will need more liquid than super fine vermicelli. Now the scientist in me wants to make this both ways and weigh everything.Off to the “lab” to start this experiment!

Rice-a-Roni was a childhood favorite for my husband, but he can no longer tolerate the sodium levels in the commercial version . So, I have adapted your recipe to have a bit less sodium and it’s been such a success, I want to share it. I use Better than Buillon , but I make it half strength: for your 6 cups of liquid I use 3 tsps. I also mix a homemade version of seasoned salt, omitting the salt from the recipe. I’m sure your original version would be delicious, but for those who need less sodium, this approach may be useful.

In reply to Amy Oros Burrell. Well it’s 1 cube per 8 oz of water for cubes, and 1 tsp per 8 oz water for better than bouillon, so it stands to reason that 1 cube = 1 tsp.

In reply to Amy Oros Burrell. I'm sure it can be! I haven't tried it with brown rice though.

In reply to Gina Smith. I love better than bullion! How much did you use? I would think about 2 tsp would equal 2 billion cubes?

I’m going to try this tonight! Could it be made with brown rice instead of white?
