Add HAMBURGER MEAT and 1 teaspoon of SALT. Brown with the veggies. Spoon out any grease rendered. This would be the time to add chicken livers too if you want. Then add BEEF BROTH, INSTANT RICE, POULTRY SEASONING and CAYENNE. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low for five minutes. Turn off heat and let rest covered for 5 more minutes.
