cheap flavored rice
i found this recipe online & as i LOVE those lipton side dishes (the rice & noodle ones) i thought maybe this would be worth a try...
~
4 cups uncooked rice (I always use brown rice)
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Combine all ingredients together and store in a zipper topped plastic bag or sealable container. This will keep up to 4 months if stored in a cool, dark and dry place. With brown rice, you may want to keep it in the freezer.
To Use: Mix 1 cup mix with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, lower heat, place lid on rice and simmer till liquid is completely absorbed, about 20 minutes or more. Check if you need to. (I would add an extra half cup liquid for the brown rice).

i used mushroom onion soup mix (any flavor would work really) & to be honest i think it needed a little more flavor so i'm thinking maybe 3c rice next time when making the mix.
