Spanish Rice

I never used to like spanish rice. It seemed way too bland and dry. I am now a huge fan of spanish rice, but only when I make it...lol... this is my version of spanish rice and it's pretty yummy!

Spanish Rice

2 cups white rice

1/2 white onion, diced

1-8oz can tomato sauce

3 cups chicken broth

In a large saucepan, saute the onion in a little oil. Add the rice and brown slightly. If your skillet is on medium heat, this takes about 5 minutes. To the rice, add the tomato sauce. Stir and wait about a minute or two before adding the chicken broth. When you add the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes uncovered.  Cover. Turn the burner down to low and set the timer for 20 minutes. DO NOT lift the lid during that time. When the timer goes off, stir the rice and serve! :)
