1 pkg onion soup mix
12 oz mixed vegetables. frozen or favorite combination
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp butter

Steps:

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat bring rice, start with 3 cups liquid, garlic salt, pepper and soup mix to a boil.
2. Once boiling add the frozen vegetables and bring to another boil...reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook another 15 - 20 minutes or until rice is cooked. Keep checking and add more water or broth as needed so the rice doesn't stick, but until tender.
3. When rice is cooked, stir in butter and parsley. Serve hot as a side to just about any dish.
