Ingredients

Method

1
Melt the stick of oleo in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the diced bell pepper and diced white onion, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes.
2
Stir in the raw rice, coating it well with the melted oleo and vegetables, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the rice becomes fragrant and slightly translucent at the edges.
3
Pour in both cans of creamy chicken mushroom soup, the can of tomatoes with green chilies (including liquid), and the ½ can of water, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
4
Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix thoroughly, and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
5
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is nearly tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

6
