    Just love having a freezer! You can put together a meal in no time with leftovers, frozen pre-prepped veggies, frozen sauces – you name it. Thawed a small jar of homemade sauce in the refrigerator overnight. Really I figured I would just make a quick macaroni dish and get it over with. Instead I wanted Spanish rice. So I pulled some chopped red and green bell pepper and onion out of the freezer and placed in my pan with a bit of water. Added paprika and chili powder and a bit of crushed red pepper flakes and let that cook until the veggies were nice and tender. Meanwhile – boiled my water and added my minute rice to the pan……..wait and fluff. Once the veggies were ready, I added my sauce to heat through until nice and hot. By that time I was able to fluff my rice and add to my pan. Tad-da – done!

    Ingredients

    • Chopped onion
    • Chopped red bell sweet peppers
    • Chopped green bell sweet peppers
    • Sauce (I used homemade that I had frozen, you can use your favorite sauce, marinara, etc.)
    • Minute Rice

    Directions

    1. I used frozen onions and peppers from my freezer which I sauteed in a bit of water until tender.
    2. Added my seasonings - chili powder, paprika, and a bit of crushed red pepper flakes.
    3. Since I used my homemade sauce I didn't need any other seasonings.
    4. Cooked my minute rice and added to my sauteed veggies with my sauce and heated through.
