- Melt 1/4 cup margarine in a large casserole dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
- Add 1 cup orzo pasta to the melted margarine and brown lightly, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups boiling water and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
- Add 1 cup long-grain white rice and stir again to ensure even distribution.
- Cover the casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and stir gently. If desired, add 1/2 cup mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), 1 (4 ounce) can of sliced mushrooms, drained, or 1 (4 ounce) can of peas, drained. Stir to combine.
