Better Than Store-Bought | 5 DIY Rice Mixes (Meals in Jars)

Tired of paying for expensive boxed rice mixes? In this video, I’ll show you how to make six homemade rice mixes with pantry ingredients that cost just pennies per serving. These jarred mixes are perfect for busy weeknights, budget meal prep, or stocking your pantry with easy DIY convenience foods.

We’ll make:
🍚 Herb Butter Rice
🌶 Spanish Rice
🍋 Dill Lemon Rice
🔥 Cajun Soul Rice
🌿 Italian Herb Rice
🌽 Southwest Corn Rice

Each mix uses basic staples and simple seasonings — no mystery ingredients, no extra packaging. Just scoop, cook, and serve. I’ll even cook up the Spanish Rice in the Instant Pot at the end so you can see how fluffy and flavorful it turns out.
