Homemade Beef Rice-a-Roni Meal-in-a-Jar

Thrive’s August monthly specials include our hamburger which is a great staple in my house. It also has a few items on the discontinued list that are a great deal so I wanted to come up with some recipes using those!

Homemade Beef Rice-a-Roni Meal-in-a-Jar Recipe

All ingredients will be cheaper and are available for free shipping for delivery customers if your order is over $100. This recipe will fit in one quart jar and feed 3-4 people as a meal or make 6-8 people as a side dish.

Ingredients:

2 c. Thrive White Rice
1 c. Thrive Egg Noodle Pasta (broken into small bits)
1 c. Thrive Freeze-Dried Ground Beef
3 Tbsp. Thrive Chicken Bouillon
2 T. Thrive Freeze-Dried Parsley
2 T. Thrive Dehydrated Onions
2 tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. thyme

Directions:

To make jar: Add ingredients to jar in order listed if you want to do heaping servings, or for a prettier jar, add ingredients in reverse order. (Smash the egg noodles into smaller bits before placing into the jar)

To serve: Melt 1/4 c. butter in a large saucepan. Add contents of jar and stir around to let brown. Add 5 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes or until thickened.

Shopping List

Makes 10-12 quart jars

Add these items to your monthly delivery and you should be able to make 10-11 jars worth of meals. Sometimes the product settles and you won’t get a full 11 cups out of a #10 can or certain ingredients have a few less servings. I’d rather have you plan to have some extras than be sad about not having enough!

Thrive Egg Noodle Pasta (1 family can)
Thrive Freeze-Dried Ground Beef (1 family can)
