Veggie Rice

Any easy way to get in those veggies :)



Veggie Rice

{Print Recipe}



2 cans of veggie or chicken broth

1 can crushed tomatoes, undrained

2-3 large carrots, sliced

1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4s

1 yellow pepper, diced

1 red pepper, diced

1-2 garlic cloves, to taste, minced

1/4 C chopped onion

salt, pepper, to taste

1-3 teaspoons of basil, to taste

1-3 teaspoons Italian seasoning

2 C brown rice, uncooked (slow cook)



Combine rice, broth and tomatoes in the crockpot and cool for about an hour on low. Then, add in all the veggies and seasonings; cook until rice is done and veggies are tender (about 2 more hours). Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and enjoy.



*Check the tenderness of the veggies after about an hour... this may cook faster in your crockpot, and it will be mushy if the veggies are over done.
