Receta Semi-Homemade with Knorr Rice Sides.

by Mary Cokenour

What can I say, I like the ease of preparation, taste, and variety of flavors using Knorr Products; whether Rice, Noodle, or Combo Sides.  Sometimes I can simply serve it as an actual side with whatever protein I've cooked up: pork, meat, poultry, seafood.  Then there are times I want to make it into a complete skillet meal which involves adding vegetables, maybe extra seasonings, sometimes a dairy product like cheese or sour cream.  It's my skillet and I'll cook in it if I want to! For ground beef, beef strips or cubes; Knorr Beef Flavored, Asian BBQ or Teriyaki are three flavors we enjoy eating the best with meat. One Skillet Beef and Sugar Snap Peas     Ingredients: 1 lb. lean ground beef (90% lean or more) 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms 1/4 cup diced onions 1 package (5.5 oz.) Knorr Rice Side, beef flavored 1 and 1/2 cups hot water 1 package (10 oz.) frozen sugar snap peas Preparation: Partially brown beef, medium-high heat, in a deep, 12 inch skillet; add mushrooms and onions, continue to brown beef till no pink shows.  Add contents of Knorr package and water; bring to a boil.  Add sugar snap peas, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir contents of skillet together and serve. Makes 4 servings. Notes:  Do not add the oil/butter recommended on Knorr package directions; oil from the browned beef will complete that requirement.  Instead of 2 cups of water, only 1 and 1/2 cups is needed, the remaining 1/2 cup will come from the frozen vegetable. This recipe is quick, easy and delicious. Mary Cokenour
