Great flavor. I love the Spanish rice mixes from the store but I did not have one for taco night so decided to try this. Glad I did because this is much better and easy!

This got rave reviews! I added a diced green pepper, halved the cumin but will add more chili powder next time. I sped thing up by cooking it in the microwave.

This was bland so I added mexican blend cheese and some salt and pepper. That did the trick for me. It was really good. Next time I will add some tomatoes and peppers. Oh and the cheese is a must. I might even try making a main dish with some taco seasoned ground beef in it. Thanks fo posting.

I thought this was great! I used brown rice and tomato sauce and just baked it a little longer. Great texture and taste.

I have made this recipe twice now. The first time was for my daughters grad. open house and I quadrupled the recipe. The recipe is easy and inexpensive to make. Each time I have made it I have been asked for the recipe. My family likes it because they want a Mexican rice without a bunch of veggies in it!

This is delicious - one of the few recipes that I don't change. The only thing I do differently is I just crush the garlic instead of mincing. This is a staple for us - we never make enchiladas without it!

Absolutely YUMMY! Surprisingly, with all of the Mexican dishes that my grandmother passed down to my mom (who is not Mexican), this recipe never made it, so I've never made it from scratch, only using a box mix in the past. This came out so good, even with it being left in the oven too long (had to leave the house, forgot the rice!), it came out perfect!! I used a little more chili powder, but fresh onion and garlic, and next time I may add some green chilis, too. This was so easy, I'll never have to use Rice-a-Roni again. Thanks for the terrifically simple recipe :-)

I thought this was a great recipe to start with. I was getting tired of mine because my husband thought it just tasted like chicken, but this recipe does have that authentic mexican rice flavor to it. I took the advice from another rater and only used a little of the cumin. The results were great in the oven, and that is the only way I will go for now on because the rice does not stick or burn at the bottom of my casserole dish. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

This was easy to make and had I not needed my big fry pan I would have put the lid on that and thrown it in the oven to save a dirty dish. I thought the flavor on this to be a little on the bland side. If I made it again I would add salt and peppar for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Very simple and very good! I did tweak it some. I did add some Rotel. I also made my own chicken broth and made sure it had plenty of flavor. Fixed this for a Mexican dinner at our church for 200 people and it went over great. Much easier than on top of the stove. Next time I think I may try adding some corn and green peppers.

Very good, simple recipe. After I started I reallized that I did not have any cumin. Instead of the chili powder and cumin, I used taco seasoning. Also added red pepper and corn. Prepared on the stovetop and put in the oven just like recipe states. I cooked it at 375 because the chicken recipe I was using needed that temp. It worked great. My family loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is really good stuff! I'm a vegetarian, so I use vegetable broth and I don't measure the spices, I love cumin, so there's probably more. With those being the only exceptions...I'm not a repeat recipe user, but I'm making this for the second time tonight, it deserves a great rating! Update: The second time I made this it came out really dry. I switched recipes and the only difference between them is the tomato paste versus tomato sauce. I like the tomato sauce WAY better. Still a good recipe, but not as quick or as good as my new one!

We made this at the last minute as a side for the Cheddar Beef Enchiladas (By Stacy Cizek). It is really easy to make and is great as a side dish with other, spicier foods.

good simple/ basic rice recipe. I added diced tomatoes and green pepper & onion to doctor it up a bit.

Excellent! I followed the recipe but did add 3/4 can of drained black beans. It turned out as good as any I've ever tried. Thanks!

This was good and simple to make. I also added 1/2 tsp of salt and reduced the cumin to 1 tsp. I thought it could use a little more something... don't know what. (A little Sour Cream from my plate helped.) I might add a little cheddar cheese to it next time to give it some more flavor. I made this as a side to the "Salsa Chicken" on this site which is awesome!
