Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
3/4 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, green beans, corn, and peas - no need to thaw)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Place the rice, vegetable broth, and frozen mixed vegetables in a medium pot over medium-high heat.
Once the entire surface of the broth comes to a gentle bubble (and it gets a bit foamy), turn heat down to low and cover with lid.
Cook for 13 minutes - do not stir and do not remove lid. After 13 minutes, the broth should all be absorbed.
Remove from the heat, keeping the lid on, and let stand for 10 minutes.
Remove lid, fluff with a rice paddle or fork, then gently fold in all the seasonings and butter until combined.
Serve and enjoy!
