Rice Pilaf

RICE PILAF

1 C onion, chopped
1/4 - 1/2 C mushrooms, chopped
1/2 C green pepper (I use a frozen mixture of roasted peppers)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 C rice
3 1/4 C water with bouillon or chicken broth/vegetable broth for vegetarian
3/4 - 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 C mozzarella cheese

In sauce pan cook onion, mushrooms, pepper, and garlic till tender.  Add water (chicken broth), rice and bring to a boil.  Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or till rice is cooked.  Remove from heat and stir in cheese.

I know this is often considered a side dish but we love it as a main dish.  Serve it with some carrots or broccoli and rolls!  This recipe make enough for a bigger family.  Cut it in half if you only need a little.
