When I make rice I always make extra, to be used in recipes throughout the week, this cuts down on prep work later on. I make several dishes that use pre-cooked rice.
Skillet meals are nice to make since they are usually pretty quick and you only have one pan to clean afterward. This can be made in an electric skillet or on the stovetop, dinner can be served directly from the skillet that it is made in. French Onion Rice Skillet takes less than 30 minutes to make and is quite tasty.
Beef or vegetable broth can be used in place of French onion soup.
