Recipe Instructions:
-
Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to sizzle and coat the pan evenly.
-
Add Franks and Garlic Powder: Once the butter is melted and fragrant, add the sliced franks and sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over them.
-
Sauté Franks: Sauté the franks until they are lightly browned on all sides, releasing their savory aroma into the kitchen.
-
Add Soup and Water: Pour in the condensed soup of your choice and add a can of water using the soup can as a measure. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
-
Bring to Boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add Rice: Once the mixture is boiling, add the Minute Rice to the skillet, spreading it out evenly over the surface.
-
Cover and Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to simmer gently, absorbing the delicious flavors of the soup mixture, for about 5 minutes.
-
Sprinkle Cheese: After 5 minutes, remove the lid and sprinkle Parmesan cheese generously over the top of the rice mixture, adding a layer of richness and savory goodness.
-
Serve: Once the cheese has melted and the rice is tender, your Franks and Rice dish is ready to be served hot and enjoyed by family and friends.
Cooking Tips:
- Experiment with different types of franks or sausages to customize the flavor of your dish.
- For added nutrition, consider adding diced vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or peas to the skillet along with the franks.
- Don’t overcook the rice; it should be tender but still slightly firm to the bite for the best texture.
