Spanish Rice

2 cups long grain rice

1/4 to 1/2 stick butter or margarine

1-2 cloves garlic finely crushed

diced onion (I just eyeball this...but usually about 1/4 of the onion at most)

2-3 TBS diced green pepper (I also eyeball this one)

one 8 oz can tomato sauce

3 cups chicken bullion

grated cheddar cheese

In a large saucepan, melt butter on med-hi setting along with rice, onions, and green pepper. add finely crushed garlic. continue to stir and heat 1-2 mins (rice will be slightly browned). add tomato sauce and chicken bullion. bring to boil. cover and reduce heat to low and simmer approx 20-25 mins or until rice is fully cooked and liquid cooked out. add grated cheese as desired and serve :)
