Beef Florentine Skillet Rice!

Here's a good, quick weekday dinner that goes far, using good ol' Rice A Roni!!!  My boys just scarf it down!  I make this when I am in a hurry and the boys want tasty food now!!  :)  This makes a lot, so if you have a smaller family, cut this in half, and use a regular size box of Rice a Roni!

BEEF FLORENTINE SKILLET RICE

1 pound lean ground beef

8 oz. sliced baby bella mushrooms

8 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 box family size Beef flavored Rice a roni (13.6 oz)~ made to package instructions, but cut water by 1/2- 3/4 cup so it's not mushy!

2 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp worcestershire sauce

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt- or to taste

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

2 tsp sugar

2 Tbsp butter

Saute mushrooms in butter til golden, take out and set aside.  In same skillet brown the ground beef, then drain any grease.  Add the spinach, and spices.  Return the mushrooms to pan.

Make up Rice a Roni in different pot according to normal directions, but cut some water.

After rice is done cooking, add it to skillet with beef mixture, and stir well!  Dinner is ready!  Great served with a cold salad!  Love good, easy recipes, as we are always so busy!!  Aren't we all??!! :)
