Spanish Rice

This is one of our favorite side dishes. I make it to go with anything Mexican.

2 cups white rice
1 Tbsp oil
1 15-oz can tomato sauce
1 large can V-8 juice
1 1/2 cups water
2 Tbsp salsa
cheese

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add rice and stir constantly until rice begins to turn light brown. Add water and let the mixture bubble down. (Don't add the tomato sauce until it's under control or you will end up with a HUGE mess.) Add tomato sauce, V-8 juice, salsa, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and top with cheese. Serve once cheese has melted.
