Vegetarian Spicy Rice

Okay...so today is Sunday...NFL...Day!

My kids are bummed that the Lions game is blacked out but Oh well there's always other games to watch...

So Sundays are kind of casual family style meals...

I'm making vegetarian burrito filling in my slow cooker and spicy rice in the roaster oven...

Spicy rice is what my kids named it because it's slightly different from Spanish rice since there's no meat and as my grandma used to make it no olives.

Remember to pre-heat your oven at 350 and remove the rack when you get started.

It's really easy Here's the recipe:

2 cups long grain rice
2-14.5oz cans of chopped tomato's'
1-8oz can of tomato sauce
1T of chili paste
2-medium Spanish(yellow)onions chopped finely
1T canola oil
1-package of Taco Seasoning
1/2tsp salt and pepper

So first rinse your rice at least twice to remove all the extra starch.

Than chop and cook your onions, add the oil,salt,and pepper to an electric skillet or large stock pot and cook for 2 minutes stir often.

Than add your rice mix and cook until the rice turns white.

Than add all the cans and mix in the taco seasoning.

Reduce heat to simmer until almost all of the liquid is absorbed.

Than pour everything into a glass baking dish cover with foil, place it on the rack and put it in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Serving size- This will make enough rice for 8-10 servings.

$Cost$-If you by store brand/generic about $4.00 If you use name brand it might be slightly higher.

Kid Friendly-2/4 my kids all liked it and finished it but only my older ones came back for seconds.
