| Mexican Fried Rice 2 cups dry rice 1/2 cup oil or bacon drippings 1 onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 1-8 oz. can tomato sauce salt and pepper 3 cups water Put oil in bottom of large pot (I use a cast iron dutch oven) on medium high heat. Add rice, onions, and bell pepper. Stir frequently, allowing rice to brown, and vegetables to soften. Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and water. Stir. Bring to a boil, turn heat down to low, and cover. Cook about 20 to 30 minutes, until rice is done. Stir, turning over ingredients (tomato sauce and veggies may rise to top).
