Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Large spoon
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 cup Uncle Ben's Brown Rice
- 14 oz vegetable broth canned
- 1 tsp Greek Seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Spike Seasoning
- 0.5 tsp dill weed
- 3 cups zucchini diced cubes
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 6 oz Feta crumbled
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the onion, dice the zucchini, and chop the red bell pepper.
- In your slow cooker, combine the chopped onion, Uncle Ben's brown rice, vegetable broth, Greek seasoning, Spike seasoning, and dill weed. Stir to combine.
- Add the diced zucchini and chopped red bell pepper to the slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The rice should be tender and have absorbed all the liquid when done.
- Once the rice and veggies are cooked, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top. Stir gently to combine, allowing the feta to melt slightly into the warm mixture.
- Scoop the Slow Cooker Brown Rice (with Veggies and Feta) into bowls and enjoy this hearty dish as a main course or side.
Notes
- Cut vegetables uniformly to avoid mushy textures.
- Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
- Feel free to substitute zucchini with other veggies like carrots or spinach.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat with a splash of broth to keep the dish moist.
