Homemade Rice-A-Roni

We usually have this with any Mexican meal because my kids don't like Spanish rice.

1 Tablespoon canola oil

1 small onion, finely diced (I use some minced onion flakes to make it more kid friendly)

1 cup angel hair pasta, broken into 1/2" pieces

1 cup rice

3 cups chicken broth, or 3 cups water with 3 bouillon cubes

1/4-1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

more salt if desired

Brown rice in oil.  When it starts to brown a little, add pasta.  Brown all together.  I microwave one cup water with the 3 bouillon cubes to dissolve cubes.  Add that, along with two more cups of water to pan with all the spices.  Bring to boil and simmer about 20 minutes over low heat until rice is tender.  Fluff and serve.
