Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the butter or bacon fat in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the rice, chopped green pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the pan.
  3. Sauté the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and the rice is lightly toasted.
  4. Stir in the stewed tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Gently fold in the flaked tuna and drained mixed vegetables.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Cover the pan again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
