Super frugal and versatile, yet so tasty! This dish can also make "planned over" stuffed Bell Peppers and can also be used with "planned over" chicken quesadillas...AFTER being served with Simple Salsa Chicken.

~2 cups uncooked long grain rice
~2 cans chicken broth or equivalent-((or 4 cups water with 3 chicken bouillon cubes))
~s & p - to taste
~1 small can tomato sauce-OR-1 can Rotel
~1 small onion-minced
1/4 cup minced bell pepper
~2 tbsp canola oil

This recipe makes A LOT...Plenty to use for planned over!
