Ingredients

6 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups long grain white rice
1 medium yellow onion (finely diced, about 1 cup diced)
1 red bell pepper (finely diced, about 1 cup diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
14.5 ounces fire-roasted diced tomatoes (undrained, 1 can, garlic flavor)
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more to taste for more spice)

Steps

Combine olive oil and butter in a deep saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat. Heat until butter is melted.
Add rice, onion, and bell pepper and cook until rice is golden brown and veggies are tender.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add undrained diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper and stir well.
Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Allow rice to sit covered about 5-10 minutes to absorb any liquid. Stir, fluff with a fork, and serve.
