MINUTE RICE FIVE SPICE CASSEROLE
Back around 1950, my grandmother found the recipe off the back of the Minute Rice box. Since then, it has become a family favorite, that we all request at some point in time. It is rather easy, and we usually serve it with cole slaw as the side dish. Plus, it makes wonderful leftovers!

Steps:
- Brown meat in oil, add onions and cook until tender.
- Stir in seasonings, soup, tomatoes, and Minute rice.
- Simmer 5 minutes.
- Stir occasionally.
- Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (But I only use a cast iron skillet, since it is both oven and stove top friendly. Plus, my Grandmother always made it in a cast iron skillet, and I did learn from her. She was the best cook for comfort foods.).
- Criss cross with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
- Garnish with olives if desired.
- Instead of olives, we sometimes use jalepenos.
- Also, this recipe works well when you cook it in a cast iron skillet- you only dirty one dish that way!

- Bring water to a boil in medium saucepan, add rice, stir until boil returns, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 mins. When rice is done add milk, stir well, add dry ingredients and stir well again. Simmer 15-20 mins or until mixture has thickened somewhat, stirring very frequently.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your rice will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables and high-quality rice.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice removes the starch and helps it cook evenly.
- Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are cooking. Check the package instructions for specific measurements.
- Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat helps it cook evenly and prevents it from sticking to the pot.
- Let the rice rest before serving: Letting the rice rest for a few minutes before serving allows it to absorb all the flavors and become fluffy.
