Spanish Rice

After trying many recipes for a rice dish to go with our tacos I finally found this one that we really like.

2      Tbsp Butter
1 1/2 Cups Long Grain Rice
1/2   Cup Chopped Onion
1      Clove Garlic, minced (I use the jar kind) So probably like a teaspoon
1/2   Cup Chopped Green Bell Pepper
2      Cups of Water
1      Can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (14 1/2 oz)
1      Tsp Chili Powder
1      Tsp Salt
1      Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese


1  In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
2  Add rice, onion, peppers and garlic.
3  Cook until the rice is browned and vegetables are tender.
4  Stir in the water, tomatoes, chili powder and salt and bring to a boil.
5  Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
6  Stir in cheese.
