Homemade Beef Rice-A-Roni

Homemade Beef Rice-A-Roni - never use the boxed stuff again! This looked and tasted just like the real thing! I had to tell my husband that I made the rice from scratch - not a box. Rice, pasta, beef broth, beef bouillon, onion powder, Worcestershire, soy sauce, garlic powder, pepper and chopped carrots. Seriously delicious - tons of great beefy flavor! We make this all the time - SO much better than the box.

One of our all-time favorite side dishes is Beef Rice-A-Roni. We’ve been eating it forever! It is so easy to make, and we just love it with steaks! I have a great recipe for Homemade Chicken Rice-A-Roni, and I decided that I needed to make a Homemade Beef Rice-A-Roni recipe.

This looked and tasted just like the real thing! I had to tell Chicken Legs that I made the rice from scratch - not a box. He was impressed!

I like to keep ziplock baggies of the rice and broken spaghetti mixture in the pantry. It makes this homemade version so easy for a weeknight side dish. I used some chopped canned carrots in the rice because the boxed version has little carrots in the rice. I only used about 3 tablespoons of the carrots. Use the remaining carrots as a side dish later or chop them up and freeze them to use in the rice later.
