My friend Dianne asked for this easiest of Recipes since it sounded good to her and YES IT IS.
This has since been added to the RICE-A-RONI "back of the box" MAKE IT A MEAL recipe corner but "L" introduced me to this first and it has remained a bi-annual staple of my diet.
Christina calls this Chop-A-Roni.
Jalapeños give this melange a nice kick but I like to add mine uncooked and after the fact. Also if the Peppers are on the HOT side which is often hard to detect aside from a Taste test I would not want the Spiciness to permeate the entire Dish concerning those who might be sharing with a milder palate.
RECIPE -Dice Onions and Sauté over medium heat in Butter/Oil till tender (clear translucency).
Brown one pound Ground Beef (or meat of choice) in same pan (add Diced Garlic and/or Spices to taste during cooking) and drain well. If adding Diced Fresh Garlic be sure to briefly brown it but do not overcook, Garlic Powder on the other hand can be utilized at any time and needs no "cooking directions".
Remove Ground Beef mixture and place aside. Some Including myself have done it in one go (Add the Roni to an pan of Ground Meat) but undercooked Rice can happen.
Prepare Rice-A-Roni as directed on package and Combine Both Ingredients (meat/onions, Roni), Simmer briefly over heat stirring occasionally.
Seeding and Skinning the Jalapeño.
The Garlic in the photo above had been Frozen and Thawed, while this works I do recommend Fresh Garlic.
3/20/17 - A Simplest Congregation of two (4 ?) Food items together, but does it work ?
Yes indeed it does. This is Comfort Food VS. Fancy Food.
Comfort Wins.
And Of Course add whatever Condiment suits you. I like Trappey's Hot Sauce or Soy Sauce myself.
