Barbara Walters’ Western Casserole

I knew that it had the potential to be an incredible On the spot Pot recipe. I ended up altering among the ratios of the components and put my very own little touches on the recipe.

Decrease the On the spot Pot down, the meat ought to keep to its facet and the grease on the opposite. Place a pair paper towels into the grease and use the spoon to sop up the grease.

Notes/Ideas
- We served this rice dish with a inexperienced salad and our favourite Italian salad dressing (Olive Backyard model).
- I used my 6 quart On the spot Pot*. You may as well make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- Retailer leftovers in an hermetic container* within the fridge for as much as 5 days or within the freezer for as much as 3 months.
- This recipe will be gluten free for those who use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.

- What’s transformed/parboiled rice? Don’t confuse transformed rice (or typically it’s referred to as parboiled rice) with pre-cooked or minute rice. Parboiled rice has been processed in its husk by soaking, steaming, and drying. Consequently, all of the vitamins from the husk are absorbed into the grain earlier than it’s eliminated. The starch content material alters within the course of, making cooked parboiled rice much less sticky than common white rice. The rice kernels aren’t clumpy and glued collectively as an alternative they’re extra separated. I discovered a bag of parboiled rice at Walmart subsequent to the traditional lengthy grain white rice. Typically I purchase it at Winco within the bulk part. I’ve additionally discovered it within the orange field (Ben’s model) subsequent to different rices.
- You can also make this with plain lengthy grain white rice for those who choose. Use the identical cooking instances and broth to rice ratio.
