Briana's Easy Spanish Rice

I tried for 2 years to perfect a Spanish rice recipe with disastrous results until I accidentally created this! I've heard washing your rice makes a difference but honestly I've never bothered. Its vegetarian if you use water or vegetable broth instead of chicken broth!

• Ready In: 32 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup long-grain white rice (not minute rice)
• 2 1⁄2 cups water or 2 1⁄2 cups chicken broth
• 1  tablespoon butter or 1  tablespoon  cooking oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1⁄2  white onion, diced
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  diced  jalapeno (optional)
• 8  ounces  mexican hot style tomato sauce
• 6  ounces  canned corn (optional)

Directions

1. Heat cooking oil or butter over medium high heat till hot.
2. Add rice, onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Stir constantly till rice is golden and onion is translucent.
3. Add sauce, water, and corn. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and cook for 25 minutes. You may stir occasionally if you prefer, sometimes it keeps it from sticking!
