Pace Fiesta Beer Rice

One of the rewards for being a Foodbuzz featured publisher is being a taste tester. We get the awesome opportunity to taste new products and review them. So I give you a BIG thank-you for giving me the delicious chance to sample Pace Picante Sauce.

So what is picante sauce? It kind of looks like salsa. It has tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and also comes in Mild, Medium, and Hot. It's ideal for cooking, since it’s smoother than salsa with the perfect balance of zesty sauce and crisp vegetables.

A good all-purpose rice dish is essential to any cook's repertoire. Add this one to your collection.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup corn
1/4 cup butter
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cups boiling water
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
3/4 cup beer
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
