If you used to love the famous box of rice mix and have missed it since going gluten-free, this Gluten Free Rice A Roni recipe is perfect for you!
Years ago, long before I went gluten free, I shared a recipe for Homemade Rice A Roni.
We loved that recipe, and I made it often because it was a great side dish for many main dishes.
I forgot about the recipe until recently, and I decided to give it a try gluten free. It worked great gluten free. You really could not tell it was gluten free. It was so good.
This recipe works with beef and chicken broth, which works great for beef and chicken meals. It is also so easy to make.
If you used to love Rice A Roni, this gluten-free version is a must-make.
If you have never had Rice A Roni, then it is also a must-make because it is a great side dish for just about any meal!
I love to serve this with gluten free meatloaf or oven chicken legs.

Lynn – I would love to have a version for Spanish Rice A Roni, but am unsure what to put in it. Tomatoes & sauce, green peppers? I am totally clueless about what spices to use. I have to avoid Rotel because it’s too spicy. Any suggestions? Thanks.
