Cooking Directions
- Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pepper and onion and cook until they're tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the V8®, garlic powder and rice in the saucepan and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the cheese.
