Mix the seasonings and add them to a small ziploc bag. Add the seasoning packet to the jar.
To cook: Melt 2 tbsp of butter (or heat 2 tbsp oil). Add 1 cup of the rice/pasta mix and cook for a couple of minutes until browned.
Add 2 cups of broth or water and 2 tbsp of the seasoning mix. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
