Heat the oil or bacon grease in the pan, over medium heat. Add the rice and saute it in the hot fat until it is toasty and slightly opaque. If you are using fresh onion, add it now too. When the rice is toasted, add the seasonings, tomato sauce and water. Stir it up and bring it to a boil. When it starts to boil, cover the pan with a good lid and reduce the heat to very low. Allow the rice to cook on the back of the stove for a good 20 minutes. Serve topped with cheese for a main dish, or just like it is as a side dish. This is Tom’s favorite food in the entire world. Serves 4 as a side dish, or 2 as a main dish. This recipe doubles easily. Cook it in a 3-quart saucepan if you double it.<br />If you want to a main dish, you can add a 1/2-pound of cooked ground beef. Another option is to add a 15 oz can of kidney or pinto or black beans (1-1/2 cups cooked beans). Add either along with the tomato sauce and water. Cook as directed.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443223419294735273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-21848593915711388262011-10-15T09:45:27.794-05:002011-10-15T09:45:27.794-05:00Yum, Yum, Yum!
And thank you for the instructions ...Yum, Yum, Yum!<br />And thank you for the instructions on how to make a cream of chicken soup alternative. I have stopped cooking recipes that call for cream soups, but I would love to make them again.... using your white sauce recipe.<br />This doesn't sound too spicy, so I think my family would enjoy them. I love Mexican food, I just have to tone it down for them.<br />How do you make your Mexican rice?Roanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267573890805062760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-69788523860063832142011-10-15T09:28:48.444-05:002011-10-15T09:28:48.444-05:00I love your blog so I decided to link to your post...I love your blog so I decided to link to your post.
