Meal Planner- Mexican Rice

For an extra spicy kick, add a chopped green chili after the rice has browned.

Ingredients
1 C. long grained Rice
3 Tbs. Oil
1 Onion, diced small
1 clove Garlic, minced
1-1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 of an 8-oz. can Tomato Sauce, freeze remainder
2-1/4 C. Water or canned Chicken Broth

Directions
In a large skillet, brown rice in oil. Add the remaining ingredients, let simmer, covered, over low heat for 25 minutes or until tender. When done, transfer to an 8"x8" casserole dish. Top with 1-1/2 C. shredded Monterey Jack Cheese. Microwave at high, right before serving, to melt cheese.
