Vikki's Spanish Rice

I got this recipe from Vikki Garcia, who runs that famous restaurant by the lake!!! I love this rice, I could eat this by itself for a meal!!!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1-1 /2 cups long grain rice
8 oz. tomato sauce
4 cups water
2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. mexican oregano

Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Cook rice in oil about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice is golden brown. Turn heat down to medium low. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook for 45 minutes. Keep covered, do not peek (that's the secret)!!
