👑Rice Oriental was one of the many Hamburger Helper flavors that was offered by General Mills under the Betty Crocker brand and unfortunately it was discontinued years ago. There are still quite a few people trying to get General Mills to bring it back including this Facebook page: Bring back Hamburger Helper: Rice Oriental!. To enjoy the flavor now, one of my best friends decided to create her own copycat recipe that I am thrilled to be sharing with you! This is a quick and easy recipe that you will love.

Copycat Hamburger Helper Rice Oriental
- 2 lbs. hamburger meat
- 1 1/4 cup rice (Uncle Ben’s Original Parboiled Rice)
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Dale’s Steak Seasoning
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 (1.5 oz.) package beefy onion soup mix
- 5 cups water
First brown the hamburger meat in a pan/pot. Drain the meat and return to pan/pot. Next, mix all the other ingredients except the rice in a bowl. Add mixture to hamburger meat and bring to boil.
Once it is boiling add the rice. Reduce heat to a simmer for 20 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat for a few minutes prior to serving.
