SIMPLE BAKED RICE



Simple Baked Rice image

Rice infused with garlic and onion baked in chicken stock. A wonderfully simple dish even picky eaters will enjoy. I use homemade stock as it's the most flavorful, but use whatever you have on hand. Another option is adding whatever leftover veggies or meat I have to make a simple casserole without a heavy cream sauce. This recipe uses a rice-to-liquid ratio of 2:1 for long-grain rice.

SIMPLE BAKED MEATBALLS WITH RICE & GRAVY RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Simple Baked Meatballs with Rice & Gravy Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by juliedee29

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 to 20 ounces ground turkey or beef
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, I used reduced-fat
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup long grain white rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9 x 13" baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together ground meat, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth. Add rice, and stir. Pour the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a medium disher or a tablespoon, evenly measure meatballs and drop into the rice mixture. Arrange in straight lines to be sure they all fit. Cover pan with foil, and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: The type of rice you use will greatly impact the final dish. Choose a long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for a light and fluffy texture.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: Rinsing the rice before cooking will remove excess starch and help prevent it from sticking together.
  • Use the right amount of water: The water-to-rice ratio is critical for achieving the perfect texture. For baked rice, a good rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
  • Season the rice: Don't forget to season the rice before baking. Salt and pepper are a good starting point, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the rice at a high temperature: Baking the rice at a high temperature will help it to cook evenly and develop a slightly crispy texture.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is baked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavorful cooking liquid.

Conclusion:

Baked rice is a versatile and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, baked rice is a great option.
