Ingredients
1 cup long grained Rice
3 tablespoons Oil
1 Onion, diced small
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
4 ounces canned Tomato Sauce
2 1/4 cups Water or canned Chicken Broth
1 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
Preparation
In a large skillet, brown rice in oil. Add the remaining ingredients, let simmer, covered, over low heat for 25 minutes or until tender. I like to add one can chopped green chiles after the rice has browned, along with other ingredients. When done, transfer to an 8"x8" casserole dish. Top with shredded Monterey Jack Cheese. Micro-wave at high, right before serving, to melt cheese.
