1 stick butter
2 cans chicken broth
1 cup long grain rice (not Minute Rice)
2 clumps coiled vermicelli
salt and pepper
1 small pkg. sliced mushrooms (optional)

Use an electric skillet set at 340°F.

Spray skillet with cooking oil, melt butter. Be careful not to burn the butter -- melt at a lower temperature if necessary.

Add broken vermicelli and mushrooms and brown. Add rice and one can broth. Salt and pepper to taste.

Allow to simmer (around 10 minutes) until broth is almost gone, stirring occasionally.

Add second can of broth; allow to simmer, stirring occasionally until broth is absorbed.

If you want to make this a main dish, add cooked meat of your choice. Very good with chicken.
