Ingredients:

• 15 cups Minute Rice
• 40 ounces tomato sauce
• 12 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
• 12 onions, finely chopped
• 2 1/2 cups green peppers, diced

Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil:
   Begin by heating the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onions. Sauté the onions until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Brown the Rice:
   Add the Minute Rice to the skillet with the onions. Stir frequently to ensure that the rice gets evenly coated with the oil and becomes lightly browned. This should take around 5-7 minutes. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent the rice from scorching.

3. Combine Ingredients:
   Once the rice is browned, pour in the tomato sauce and stir well. Next, add the diced green peppers and continue to mix everything together.

4. Simmer:
   Add enough broth to the skillet to cover the rice mixture. Bring the entire mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid.

5. Cook and Absorb:
   Allow the rice to cook covered for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rice should absorb all the liquid and become tender.

6. Season and Serve:
   Once the liquid has been fully absorbed and the rice is cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Taste the rice and add salt to your preference. Stir everything to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

7. Final Touch:
   Serve the rice warm as a side dish or a base for a main course. This recipe yields about 22 1/2 cups of flavorful Spanish rice, making it perfect for serving up to 45 people with 1/2 cup portions each.

Enjoy this savory, easy-to-make Spanish rice that’s sure to satisfy even the largest of appetites! Whether it’s a casual family dinner or a bustling party, this dish is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. 🌟🍚🌶️
