Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups cooked white rice (such as Uncle Ben's®)

Directions

Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic until slightly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir tomatoes with juice, chili powder, beef bouillon granules, and salt into onion mixture; add rice. Simmer rice mixture, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors are blended, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You could use leftover or already-prepared rice. When you add the rice to the frying pan make sure to heat it through. Cooking time varies depending on whether you're using precooked rice.
