I have tried several times to make dishes with uncooked white rice and my rice always turns out hard n crunchy even when i follow the recipe exactly but for some reason I finally got it. In this case I did twist the recipe according to other reviewers, but I finally got the rice right! This is what I did: I first sauteed the onions, green peppers and added 2 garlic cloves minced until tender, then i added the rice until lighty brown. I then added 2 cups of chicken broth instead of water, along with 1/4 tsp cumin,no salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and chilli powder as directed, diced canned tom with garlic n onion, 1 can on green chilles. I brought to a boil at medium heat, then covered and reduced heat to low for about 40 minutes and did not remove the cover until the timer went off. It turned out perfect!!! I am so happy I can finally make a recipe with white rice that turns out cooked and not crunchy. WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

This recipe is VERY easy and tastes great. The leftovers were awesome the second day as well. Next time I make it I will cut the oil down a bit b/c it was a tad greasy. Other then that I will make this again!!!

Excellent and super easy! Changes: instead of water I added half chicken broth and half tomato sauce. Used both green and red bell pepper. Also added corn. Did not need to add any salt. Tasty the first day you make it and just as good as leftovers days after.

This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I have made it twice so far and each time my husband has said it's better than our favorite Mexican resturant. I do make one change and use chicken broth instead of water to add more flavor.

This was delicious and most importantly, easy. I substituted brown rice and cooked the rice according to brown rice instructions. I'm watching my sodium so I didn't add the salt but the can of diced tomatoes and chili had more than enough sodium so I didn't miss the added salt. I added cumin, cilantro and doubled the chili. This is definitely a keeper!! Thanks much!!

Thank you for a recipe that does not include prepared salsa! Like others, I added cumin. If you want to make it more like a main dish, Add some browned hamburger or, better yet, spicy sausage. I think I will try adding chicken next time. Thanks for a great recipe. This will be a staple in my home -- something I can make as is, or a good base for customizing!

The best! I hate boxed spanish rice and this has been the best so far. I cook the onions, green pepper and add garlic first then I brown the rice. I use the chicken stock from the box for more flavor! Added a tad more chili powder & some cumin. I doubled the recipe because I have a large family!

This had really good flavor, it was my fault for trying to make it ahead, it really is best served right away! We reheated in oven and was a tiny dry.

Very good! I added two cloves of garlic and bumped up the amount of chili powder to one tbsp, and the family loved it. It also turned out well by adding 1lb cooked ground beef(for when the gang is extra hungry!)

Yum! Why buy prepackaged rice mixes when making this is so much better and really not that much more work? Definitely add the garlic & cumin and broth. The only suggestion I have is not to double the recipe in the same pot -- mine came out a bit gluey in some parts; dryer rice grains in others, even with a stir near the end. Original quantities make a sizeable pot anyway.

I made this rice for my family the other day and let me tell you the flavor in this rice is awesome. It fills the whole house while it cooks. I didn't have any of the green chilies but I did use the cumin and some crushed red pepper flakes for some spice and everything worked out well thanks to Shanny and the others for their advice for making this # 1 in our house.
