Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 bottle French Onion Skillet Sauce
- Your choice of meat (chicken, beef, or pork) or vegetables for sautéing (quantity as desired)
Optional for Flavorful Rice
- 1½ cups water
- 1 cup white rice
- ½ cup French Onion Skillet Sauce (from the bottle)
Optional for Burgers
- Burger patties mixture
- French Onion Skillet Sauce (as needed to mix into burger mixture)
Instructions
- Sauté Proteins or Vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté your chosen meat (chicken, beef, or pork) or vegetables until thoroughly cooked, ensuring even browning and tenderness.
- Add Sauce: Pour the entire bottle of French Onion Skillet Sauce into the skillet with the cooked proteins or vegetables. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.
- Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly and infuse into the ingredients.
- Flavorful Rice (Optional): In a separate saucepan, combine 1½ cups of water, 1 cup of white rice, and ½ cup of the French Onion Skillet Sauce from the bottle. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
- French Onion Ranch Burgers (Optional): For a delicious twist on classic burgers, mix the French Onion Skillet Sauce directly into your burger patty mixture before cooking. Form patties and cook as usual to enjoy enhanced flavor.
Notes
- You can customize the skillet sauce with any meat or vegetables you prefer, making it very versatile.
- Simmering times can be adjusted slightly depending on the thickness you desire for the sauce.
- When preparing the optional rice, be sure to stir gently once or twice to prevent sticking.
- Mixing the sauce into burger patties adds moisture and depth of flavor, so reduce added seasonings accordingly.
- Store any leftover sauce refrigerated in a sealed container; consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
