SEASONED RICE (or brown rice)

      

    
     The night I made Taco Chicken (it’s on the web site), I searched Allrecipes for a flavorful, yet easy, rice side dish using brown rice. I searched “Brown Rice” (because that’s what I had) and got a recipe that called for white, long grain rice (even though the recipe was called “Brown Rice”).  It called for a can of beef broth; I had steak seasoning.  The recipe also called for a 10.5 oz. can of condensed french onion soup – I had Lipton dried onion.  The two things I did have were Worchestershire sauce, dried basil, and 1/4 cup butter.  As usual, I improvised. 
It’s what I do.  Mom of four = improvisor.  After all, when are you EVER fully prepared for everything as a mother of that many children going in all different directions?!? 
Flexibility is the mother of invention.  No wait…that’s just my philosphy.
Here’s what I did:  I used my quick brown rice, 1 tsp. steak seasoning, dried french onion soup, water, worchester, and a teeny bit of basil (because there was already some in my steak seasoning). 
14 oz. canned broth + 10.5 oz. canned onion soup (both ingredients which I did not have = oh let’s add a little over 1 pint of water, say 2 1/2 cups.  (1 pint = 16 oz. or two cups just in case you forgot, I still have to remind myself sometimes.)  Turns out, I probably only needed right at 1 pint because the rice turned out a tad bit watery.
The rice was to be baked at 350 for an hour, which meant this was not quick rice we were dealing with.  So, I baked it for 30-40 minutes.  (I say that because I can’t remember the exact time, I kept checking the chicken and resetting the timer.)
The result?  Everyone LOVED it!!!  They asked why I’d never made it before.  Definitely a keeper.
I say all that to say this:  don’t let a few pesky ingredients hold you back.  Be creative, be flexible, make a decision, go with it.
Now.  I’ll give you my version, and their version. You can decide for yourself which one you like.
