I'm not much of a cook, but I did receive many recipe requests the first time I made this dish. Using a packaged rice mix makes it so simple to prepare.—Deborah Vahlkamp, Belleville, Illinois

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 package (6.8 ounces) beef-flavored rice and vermicelli mix
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
