Mexican Rice

Ingredients needed to make this recipe:

1 tablespoon of oil
1 cup of Long grain rice
Chopped Onions (may use dehydrated if you want)
8 oz can of Tomato Sauce
Water
1 "heaping" tablespoon of Knorr Suiza Chicken Flavor Buillon

1. In a 2-cup measuring cup pour your 8 oz can of tomato sauce. Fill the rest of the measuring cup full of water. Pour in your "heaping" tablespoon of the knorr seasoning. (When I say heaping, I sure mean heaping)
Mix the seasoning in your liquid mixture and then pour it all into a pot. Bring this to a boil.
2. While you are waiting for your liquids to boil, get out a pan and heat up your oil. Pour in your rice and start to brown the rice. Before the rice is browned, add your onion and cook until clear. (If you are using dehydrated onions, make sure they are hydrated by this point) Once the rice is browned, pour it into the pot with the liquids.
3. Let it boil for just a minute and then stir. Cover the pot and reduce to a simmer for 20-30 minutes. Then stir.
**If your rice is still not as soft for your liking, just add a little bit more water to the pot and cover it back up and let it simmer for a little bit longer.
