Spanish Rice

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 clove garlic, minced (sub garlic powder if needed)
1 T cooking oil
1 28-oz can tomatoes (I like to use two cans of Italian diced tomatoes from Walmart, since they are already flavored and chopped fine)
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 t sugar
1 t chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet cook onion, green pepper, and garlic in oil till tender but not brown. Stir in undrained tomatoes, rice, sugar, chili powder, pepper/salt (hot sauce - optional) and 1 cup water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 mins or till rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese if desired. (Better Homes CB)
