Mexican Rice

My mother-in-law showed me how to make this, and I have not eaten the pre-made stuff ever again!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of the 5 minute instant rice (brown or white) 
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water or chicken stock 
• 2 T of Vegetable oil
• 8 oz can of tomato sauce
• Onion salt, chili powder (about a tablespoon of each..give or take)

Directions:

1. Heat oil on medium heat, until bubbles form
2. Toss in uncooked rice, stir until lightly golden brown
3. Stir in tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups of your liquid
4. Add seasonings, heat to boil.
5. Cover and remove from heat for 5 minutes. check it at 4 minutes, if it needs more liquid, add the rest.

Taste it! if it needs more seasoning, add some! Garnish with green onions if you like them, I do!

I'm not sure if this is still the exact way my MIL taught me.. but its how I have been doing it, and she loves it!
