Directions
Put the rice in a big bowl and sprinkle in some garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Give it a good mix to make sure the seasonings are evenly spread. Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then toss in the chopped red bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the veggies are nice and tender—this should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the seasoned rice along with the water to the skillet. Keep cooking and stirring until the rice is warmed through, which usually takes another 5 minutes. Finally, stir in the French-fried onions to give it a fun crunch and mix everything well before serving.
