Title: Rice-A-Roni
Post by: BEG on March 05, 2012, 07:00:18 PM: Who here loves the way it smells when you are sautÃ©ing it before you add the water?

I know the food nazi's will say I'm a poser for liking Rice-A-Roni.

Not at all...one of my favorite "cheap/easy" meals...brown some hamburger, drain the fat, then fix according to box directions with a little salad on the side.

We eat it at times when it's on sale at the Grocery Outlet. Usually I'll "fix" it with some extra seasoning. Lately my wife has been making "homemade" Rice-A-Roni. Usually just ground beef, rice and brown gravy mix. It's not bad.

I like the Tony Chachere box mixes the best though. I've been picking up the Dirty Rice, Jambalaya, and Red Beans and Rice mixes at the 99 Cent Only store and then getting Andouille sausages at the Gross Out for $1.99 a package. Love the stuff.

I haven't heard coon's age in a coon's age. How long is a coon's age anyway, once in a blue moon ?
