Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the butter or bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the rice, chopped green pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet; sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the stewed tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  5. Gently fold in the flaked tuna and drained mixed vegetables until evenly distributed.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
