Mr. Russell’s Rice

By Nadine Onstot

Prepare:

3 c. uncooked brown rice  -  cook in 6 cups of water about 50 minutes

Saute in oil or butter:

1 yellow or orange pepper

12 oz. sliced mushrooms

1 bunch green onions

4 cloves garlic (minced)

Combine sautéed veggies with cooked rice.

Heat in microwave and add:

2 cans of beans (black, kidney or pinto - any)  UNDRAINED

2 cans of diced tomatoes (Mexican or Italian)

Stir in:

2 Tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons cumin

Salt and Pepper

Serve.

This makes a large pot.  I’d guess 12 servings
