This is delicious.
I don't use the brown sugar, however - chili sauce is sweet enough as it is (and as another reviewer indicated, chili sauce is very close to ketchup in its content).
I also don't bother with the green bell pepper since, well, I hate green bell pepper.
Other than that, I cook PRETTY much as the recipe states - but when I put a lid on the whole shebang including the rice and cook for 30 minutes, I don't remove the lid AT ALL. I just wait for it to boil, then put the heat on simmer and wait. Cooking rice requires pressure and steam so removing the lid is counterproductive, in my opinion.
Otherwise, this is a nice spanish rice recipe with a bit of an added kick. It's currently one of my faves and I make it about once every other week - it lasts quite a while and can be a main dish or a side dish.
One could easily sub salsa for the chili sauce, although it will not have the same flavor (would still be really tasty though, I bet). One could also sub brown rice for the white rice - but if so, add a bit more water and cook longer (brown rice takes longer to cook).
Glad I found this recipe! Not something I would have ordinarily tried.
