TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 10 min.
MAKES: 2 servings (3/4-cup ea)

MY Mom found this recipe in a local newspaper years ago and it has been one of our favorite side dishes for a long time. The original recipe was a little bland, so I have doctored it up a little. Sometimes I make more than I need for one meal so I can have leftovers.

Ingredients:
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
• 1 cup uncooked instant rice
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh marjoram sprig and shaved Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the rice, water, bouillon, garlic powder and pepper; bring to a boil.

2. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with a sprig of marjoram and shaved Parmesan cheese if desired.
