i need basic rice recipes- ways to dress up white and brown rice?

Question by texas_holdem_nut: i need basic rice recipes- ways to dress up white and brown rice?
my aunt bought a huge bag of rice for some reason. i am not a fan of rice and am trying to eat as healthy as possible. i need ideas on how to dress up this whole grain brown rice- without using tons of butter and salt- so that we can eat it. some salt is okay, i just hate tons of sodium in foods. i love veggies and pretty much am open to any suggestions. the most simple and basic the better. i don’t have many spices and no easy, cheap access to fresh herbs/spices. i eat mostly chicken, but sometimes beef as well. would love a home recipe for dirty rice- the boxed is too salty
and nothing with canned soups please- way too much sodium

You can use brown rice and anything you want in this…if you don’t have it..leave it out.

Baked Dirty Rice
* 1 cup raw rice
* 1 pound lean ground meat, chicken OR crabmeat or shrimp
* 1 can cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup
* 1 can condensed onion soup
* 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master
* 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 1/2 cup chopped green onion
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preparation:
Combine all ingredients; put into an 8×8-inch square baking dish (all raw) or 2-quart casserole. Mix well. Cover tightly with foil, then place a cover over the top (or another layer of foil) to keep steam in. Bake at 425°
