Ingredients

• 1 (6.9 or 6.8 ounce box Rice-A-Roni (chicken or beef)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

1. Add butter to the inner pot of an Instant Pot. Use the sauté function to melt the butter.
2. Add the dry Rice-A-Roni to the butter and sauté until it starts to turn light golden-brown.
3. Turn off the Sauté function.
4. Add water and seasoning mix, stirring to combine.
5. Close the lid and set the vent to the sealed position. Select a 5 minute cook time at high pressure using the Manual/Pressure Cook button.
