2 c. long grain rice
1/2 med. onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Add salt to taste
1/4 c. olive oil

In a deep saucepan, saute vegetables in oil; add garlic and salt. Then add 2 cups rice and 2 cups water (should not have too much water, this will make rice soggy). Cover rice and set setting on medium high, leave it for 14 minutes and never open until 14 minutes are up. Then open rice and stir only once. Cover rice and set on low for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes check to see if rice is tender. Keep covered on stove top until ready to serve. Feeds eight. (Ratio or rice to water is one to one.)
