I love having this rice made up into a big batch and frozen in small portions. It is SO handy to pull out one of these to warm for a fast and easy side.
Makes about 8-10 cups cooked rice
2 diced onions
4 T butter
4 cups dry rice
2 (8 oz) cans of tomato sauce
8 cans of water (8 cups total)
2 t salt
1 T chile powder
2 t cumin
1 t garlic powder
Saute onion in butter. When onions are soft, add rice and saute for 3 more minutes until rice mostly turns white. Add all other ingredients and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is done.Let cool and place in quart size zip bags in a family size serving. Serve with any Mexican dish.
For a project - This freezes great! This recipe makes much more than would be for a single meal so that I can freeze it in family size side dish servings. To serve it, I break the frozen rice into a glass dish, add 1 tablespoon of water, cover and microwave it until its warm.
