Coverted rice is Uncle Ben"s Converted rice or regular rice. Not Minute rice!

basically what I did was add zucchini and tomato into the ground beef/rice mix. I would have done other vegetables too, but I was all out.

I tried it too, but my rice took forever to cook in the oven. so after an hour of waiting. I took it out and put the whole thing in a pot to boil. that way the rice cooked a lot quicker. but it became a mixed up stew. still good though.

Yael, I cooked the rice first in a pot, because I have very bad experiences with putting rice in the oven to cook. one day it will work for me hopefully......
but it came out a great dish.

I have had great success with cooking rice in the oven - comes out perfect every time! Here's my tried and true method: Use 2 cups boiling water to one cup rice (2.5 cups for brown rice), add salt and other flavorings if desired and bake in a preheated 350° oven for ca. 1 hour, uncovered.

My rice comes out better when I bake it rather than cook it! Once I tried browning the rice in a pot with a little oil and then cooking it and it came out good. I feel it is such a simple thing to make what am I doing wrong? I would like to be able to cook it w/o out bec it is healthier and tips?

Here's my perfect (white) rice recipe- taken from the Kosher Pallette:
1 c. rice, 2 c. water, 1 tsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt
Put e/t in uncovered pot on high, stir once. When rice starts to rise to top of water, cover pot, put on very low flame for 15 minutes. Fluff rice with fork- and whalla! yum!
