I followed the recipe to a T. I would follow other reviewers suggestions. Maybe add picante sauce and delete the ketchup. I did not like it at all.

I don't know why, since I never even had rice at home as a child, but THIS is DEFINITELY comfort food! I've made it a few times and have varied it each time to suit the ingredients we have in the house. I've added 6 ounces tomato paste with extra water, diced tomatoes, left out the green pepper, added more water, left out the ketchup, etc., and it always turns out perfectly! Everyone eats it (hubby, 5dc: 11, 9, 7, 4, 2). One thing I do consistently is to start cooking the rice as soon as I begin browning the beef. After it's tender (15 minutes) I stir it in and serve. We've never had a problem with crunchy rice. Tonight we're having this with a nice big "make-your-own" salad bar, cornbread, and a fruit salad. I think we'll wear our PJs and eat it in front of a roaring fire--that's what you do with the truly good comfort food!

I liked this, but when I make it again, I'll probably kick it up a little - maybe with some tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent dish! Used one large tomato and extra cup of water instead of canned tomato sauce. CAn easily be wrapped in a flour tortilla.

I like to add about 1 teaspoon of chili powder and a good sprinkle of cumin. Once rice is done top with a generous amount of cheddar cheese. Cover skillet and let sit for 5-10 mins. I also don't like to use a full pound of meat, increase the amount of water, and omit the ketchup.

I ommitted the corn, but other than that my family loved this recipe. Very easy to cook and with tortillas this is a one pot meal.

I chose this to make for my son's Cultural Awareness Day (since we were assigned Spain). Changed the amounts to feed 40. This made two very large foil pans full. Due to some of the other suggestions, I added a can of Ro-tel and some cumin. Tasted great to us!!! Thanks for the recipe.

I thought this was good. I used less ketchup, no green pepper (didn't have any), a whole 10 oz. thawed container of frozen corn. Added 1 tsp of cumin seed (would have used ground cumin if I had it), chili powder, ground red pepper, 1 T worcestershire sauce, some leftover salsa, cooked the rice first and added after draining ground beef and onions, and mixed in some shredded cheddar cheese. Will probably end up putting in a tortilla for dinner... waiting on the bf to come home from work for the taste test. Oh yeah, it's definitely better the longer it sits!

As you can see from my name, I am not a great cook but this recipe did not go down at all well! I read the reviews beforehand and made a few changes but for the first time ever, I won't be trying this one again.

My family did not like this. Very bland. I suggest spicing it up a bit if you decide to make it.

It was wonderful, with the modifications recommended by others. I added a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chilis (perfect if you like things spicy), a couple of tbs of ketchup, ground cumin & ground coriander. I also used brown rice instead of white rice. It takes longer to cook though, probably at least another 30 minutes. It had excellent flavor and spice. I will definitely make it again.

This was the perfect Spanish Rice recipe for me, it was exactly what I was looking for. I used cus cus instead of rice to make it lower in fat, but should have cooked it seperately because it didn't soften completely. Also, I added a dash of ground cumin for some spice.

This is a great recipe for summer. Fast, easy and keeps well for left overs. I was out of ketchup so I used a mild salsa and added extra onion.

I read a lot of the reviews before making this. I made some changes, with good results. I cut back the ketchup to a few tablespoons after reading that it made the dish too sweet. also, i added cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, and grill seasoning. i also used a can of diced tomatoes and omitted a good portion of the water since there was so much liquid. i will probably make this again, keeping these changes.

made this for dinner cause i had leftover white rice (added it in last). didn't have corn, but added half can of black beans and diced tomatoes with a bit of taco seasoning (mixed in while browning the meat). ate with salsa and sour cream on the side. overall an easy, quick, and satisfying meal, but not particularly memorable. (also omitted the ketchup after reading reviews)
