This was very good but I thought it would be better as a side dish rather than a main course! It was very yummy though!

This tasted way better than I thought it would when I was making it. I followed the advice of not stirring while the rice simmered and leaving the lid on and it turned out great (although it stuck a little to the bottom.) I also did everything in a dutch oven so it was only one pot. A good weeknight meal with few and cheap ingredients. My husband even had seconds.

I made this in an attempt to have a "made-ahead" dish, and to please everyone at the table. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor because I've made similar recipes that turn out to be so-so, but this had a bit of zing that everybody liked. My daughter loves all food except rice, and even she enjoyed it!

Easy and Delicious...I added some fresh garlic along with the onion and green pepper and it was so good, topped with sour cream made it even better! a keeper in our house!

I wish I could actually give a 4 & 1/2 stars! This was quite tasty. I substituted ground beef w/ ground turkey. I also didn't have chile sauce, so I used salsa instead. Plus I added a lot more fiesta blend cheese on top, maybe 1 1/2 cups.

Not bad.

After reading other reviews, I made the following changes: used 28oz can crushed tomatoes and 3/4 cup water, 1/2 cup salsa instead of chile sauce, omitted brown sugar, and omitted cilantro. I browned the onion & ground beef together then added the other ingredients to the same pot. I simmered covered for 30 minutes per recipe and my rice was cooked. I ate it with tortilla chips and topped with salsa and sour cream. I enjoyed it, but I think next time I will try substituting black beans for the beef and serving it as a side dish rather than the main dish.

This was really good and even better the second day. It was a tad sweet for me, and next time I'll add some garlic and less of the brown sugar. It was filling and great with a salad.

I made this on Saturday for the family and the entire dish got devoured. Will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe!

We really liked this dish. It was quick and easy. I didn't add the brown sugar, but used a whole jar of chili sauce. Oh, and used ground turkey, but couldn't tell the difference! Otherwise, followed just as written. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this for dinner last night and the entire family loved it. I made no changes at all except I did have to add a bit more water. This will be a recipe that will be a staple at our house from now on! Thank you!

Very bland. We could barely eat one serving. Today's canned chili is far tastier. This has the flavor I associate with canned, frozen, or boxed 'helper' foods from the 1960s. My family was extremely disappointed given all of the good reviews. Also, I'm not sure why it is called Spanish as I don't believe it is a Spanish dish, but perhaps Texan or Mexican.

threw this together w/ a few "twists" .. used a dutch oven ...sauteed peppers/onions then browned ground beef, used organic fire roasted tomatoes, 2 tbsp mexican chili powder, a dash of paprika, brown rice, and threw in a can of chili beans (with liquid) about a cup more water and simmered for about 40 minutes. then threw it in the oven for about 20 min. topped w/ reduced fat mexican blend cheese, baked till melted and bubbly. finished w/ a few dollops of low fat sour cream and some corn muffins..delish!

This is really good. I used ground turkey (only 1/2 of a lb) and put in some chipolte peppers in adobo sauce. I also used the thai chili sauce. It had such great flavor. The only thing I will add next time is some mexi corn. No brown sugar (forgot it) and did it all in one pan for some pretty easy clean up. Easy meal for a work nite!

This has become a staple in our home, we have it every 2-3 weeks. I typically try and use brown rice because it's healthier and sometimes use the Asian style chili sauce for its sweetness (to suit the kids' taste). We love this, thank you! **updated comments: why dirty 3 pans? Make it in a dutch oven or similar cast iron pan, brown the meat in it, throw all the other ingredients in, let it cook and then throw the whole thing in the oven. 1 dish to wash!**
