Spanish Rice

a delicious alternative to plain rice

I took a risk and made this rice recipe today, and I was pleasantly surprised. It is very delicious and easy to prepare. My hubby absolutely loves it too.

Ingredients

• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/4-1/2 cup long green pepper, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 8 oz. of tomato sauce

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil.  Add onions and green pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, until the onions are tender.
Add uncooked white rice, fry for one more minute.
Add water and tomato sauce to the rice.  Stir well while heating to boiling.
Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight fitting lid, and simmer until rice is tender.  This should take approximately 25 minutes.  Check it at 15 minutes to gauge cooking time.
Fluff lightly with a fork and cover. Let sit for 15 minutes and serve.
