Time 25m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/4-1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil (or bacon drippings)
1 1/4 cups parboiled long-grain rice
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Over medium-high heat, sauté onion in olive oil until tender; add rice and continue sautéing for 3-5 minutes until rice becomes opaque.
Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, and seasonings; bring to boil then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20-25 minutes until rice is cooked.
Remove pan from heat; let stand covered for 5 minutes until liquid is absorbed; fluff with fork and serve.
Note: My best ever success with this recipe was achieved using bacon drippings for sautéing, rounded measuring scoops of rice, and only a half can (4 ounces) of tomato sauce with water added to almost fill the can.
