Homemade Rice-a-Roni

I grew-up loving Rice-a-Roni!  However, now that I've become more of a food label reader I rarely buy it.  This recipe has thankfully brought it back to my table.  It is instantly devoured by my family!


1 cup uncooked rice (not instant)
1/2 cup broken angel hair pasta (broken into 1 inch pieces)
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups chicken or beef broth

Place butter in a heavy sauce pan, brown the rice and noodles. Once everything is browned, add broth and spices and bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and the broth has been absorbed.
