Cheesy Rice, Hamburger, and Broccoli

Simple and Delicious
Items
1 packet Lipton Rice Sides Cheddar Broccoli
1 cup cooked and seasoned hamburger
1 cup of frozen Broccoli
Franks Hot Sauce (optional, used for extra flavor if you like heat)

Places and Prices
all of the items were in our freezer and/or cupboard
the meat was given to us for a wedding gift by our dear friends the Bunker's----they are Free Range Rancher---the meat is organic and tastes just so wonderful

Recipe
1. On the stove top place 1 cup of frozen Broccoli and 1 1/2 cups of water and let cook.
2. Drain the broccoli when it is done, but save the water that you cooked it in.
3. Measure the water that you saved from the broccoli and use it to make the packet of Lipton Rice Sides Cheddar Broccoli---when I use the water/juice/liquid from what I cooked I call it a broth. This liquid adds flavor to the dish as well as doesn't waste any thing.
4. While your rice is cooking make sure that your hamburger and broccoli get heated
5. Add the meat, cooked broccoli and rice mixture together and serve right away
6. Allow individuals to add Franks Hot Sauce for themselves
