• 1 medium onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
• 1 can (8 1/4 oz.) stewed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 cup Minute rice

1. Cut onion in half. Finely chop 1 half. Cut the other half in very thin slices. Mash garlic with salt to make a paste.
2. Heat bacon drippings in a medium saucepan. Add chopped onion and garlic paste. Cook and stir until onion is tender. Add stewed tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder and cumin. Mash tomatoes with a masher or the back of a spoon. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in rice and sliced onion.
3. Cover and let stand over very low heat 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Use an asbestos heat diffuser if necessary to maintain very low heat.

This recipe is so easy it's almost embarrassing! I usually double the recipe when fixing it for my family.
