Savannah Red Rice, October 12, 2015

A tasty one-dish dinner---you can also add a salad and some fruit, if you wish---I chose pineapple. My wife also had some cottage cheese to cool her palate. I didn't find it particularly spicy---in fact, some folks will want to serve this with additional hot sauce.

1 tbsp. olive oil (or a coating of cooking spray)

2 green peppers, chopped

2 onions, chopped

2 c. cooked rice

16 oz. can stewed tomatoes

8 oz. tomato sauce

A good shake of garlic Tabasco

A good shake of garlic powder

Salt and pepper

1 lb. kidney beans or cooked sausage, if desired

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sauté onions & peppers in olive oil. Add the rest. Mix well & bake in a greased 2-quart casserole for half an hour. Serve with shredded cheese, if you wish. My wife does wish. Serves 6.
