30 minute German rice dinner

This German rice dish, aka Reistopf, is so quick and easy to make.  It is similar to a recipe for risotto - but you use regular long grain white rice and add meat as well. 

In the photo above, I've added diced red pepper along with the canned tomatoes and mushrooms. Not necessary, but nice. Try adding some green and/or yellow peppers as well.

Hallo Summer Collection at Just like Oma's Store

You can serve the rice with any vegetable - the dinner above is served with squash - just cook some frozen veggies if you're in a hurry. Of course, this is just as delicious made without the meat and used as a side dish to a meat main dish.

Have Oma by your side ... helping you

If you end up with leftover rice, put it in a casserole dish, add a can of condensed mushroom soup, and about ½ can of milk. Add some vegetables if you have any. Stir. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and refrigerate.

Tomorrow, looking for some quick recipes for supper? Just take from fridge, bake it uncovered at 350° F for about ½ hour or until hot. Another easy fast dinner recipe and different than today's.

Hints:

  • Use salt and pepper if you do not have Vegeta.

This Oma KNOWS you CAN do it.

How do I know?

Well, if I can do it, anyone can.

I've even figured out how I can help you.

I've teamed up with my own business coach, Renae Christine (yes, do google her!), to bring you this free masterclass. After you watch it, ask me any questions and I'll gladly answer them.

Don't hesitate. I'm not sure how long Renae will keep this free masterclass available.

Thinking of starting a handmade business. I've got a FREE workshop from my coach right here.

PS:  Yes, Renae really is as amazing as all the reviews say.

PPS: Yes, the course is for handmade items, but I've used it successfully for my cookbooks. I know others are using her methods for services, direct sales, and even a local ice cream bar & grill that's constantly selling out. You've nothing to lose by taking a look ... and a whole bunch to gain.
