This recipe was a bit bland as is. Next time I will definitely kick up the spices. It was quick and had great texture though.

This was delicious. I used 1 1/2 cup chicken broth instead of 2 cups of water. I also added some chopped jalapenos. When it was done cooking, I turned off the burner, sprinkled grated cheese on the rice and covered with the lid for a few minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

This rice was so good. Better than I expected. My husband loved it and he is not a fan of rice. I omitted the bell peppers for personal taste preferences, I used chicken broth instead of water, I used chili powder and cumin, cooked onions and garlic before rice, then added onions back to sauteed rice. I used the Rotel tomatoes and green chiles which made the rice pretty spicy, which I loved. It did have chunky tomatoes so the kids didnt even try it. It may have been too spicy for them even if they had tried it. I will definitely make this again!

This went over VERY big at our house. I did make some changes. I used the basmati rice that I had on hand. For my double recipe I used 1/4 c. dehydrated red bell pepper instead of green pepper. I'm not much on chunky tomato so I used (2) 8 oz. cans of no-salt plain tomato sauce, a can of chopped green chilis and a dash of chipotle powder. I used jarred chicken base with the water plus a little additional water. I also used the hints that Jodi Lynn kindly provided, except for the garlic and parsley. I cooked about half a package of turkey bacon for the grease (put away the cooked turkey bacon for the next day's use) and then used oil to make up the difference. Served it up on flour tortillas along with some refried beans, sour cream, ground turkey cooked with fajita spice and then Eagle Brand Creamy Lemon Pie (from this site) for dessert. He has talked about that rice constantly since I made it last week and has been asking for me to make it again so I'm making it tonight. It's going into my regular rotation, needless to say, LOL. Thank you for posting this recipe.

This is by far the best spanish rice I have made. I stuck to the recipe with one exception. I added Goya brand Adobo seasoning salt in place of the salt. I'm not a huge fan of spanish rice in mexican restaurants but this spanish rice is exceptional.

Great recipe. I've made it several times now. I like to add a can of drained and rinsed black beans and serve wrapped in flour tortillas.

Mmmmmm this was a hit in our house. I served this with tacos. I did however substitute it a bit. I fried 6 slices of bacon and used the bacon fat instead of oil. I also used a can of Aylmer spicy red pepper tomatoes and skipped the chilli powder. My husband wanted it again in 2 days a great hit. Thank you for this posting.

Wow! So easy to prepare and the kids loved it! They only change I made was that I used a can of stewed tomatoes, which I chopped, since that was all I had.

We made this for a potluck, tripled the receipe and it turned out GREAT. Cut down on the chili powder, added cumin and about a teaspoon of chicken boullion to the water. My husband who doesn't like ANYTHING said it was delicious. Wow, that's high praise. I'm going to use brown rice next time just because I like it better. Thank you for this recipe!

I've been searching and searching for a spanish rice recipe, and this was wonderful. It definitely wasn't spicy, but had a great flavor and texture. Per suggestions by other reviewers, I substituted the water for chicken broth. Thanks!

Wonderful recipe. As others suggested I used chicken broth rather than water. Also reduced the chili powder to about 1 teaspoon. Served with Beef Enciladas I from this site and got raves from my company. Also served refried beans, sliced avocados, tortilla chips with salsa and sour cream. Really fabulous plate of food!

I would give it 3.5 stars if I could as it's better the next day. Despite the tomatoes, chili powder, onions, etc this rice lacks flavour. I can see how the addition of cumin, parsley and chicken stock may lift this recipe to five stars. I'll try that next time!

Love it... I followed the advice of another reviewer or two and used chicken broth instead of water. I also added about 1 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp of parsley. I made it for a big party (quadrupled the recipe) and it was all gone! This will be my go to rice recipe from now on!

This turned out great when I used some reviewers' suggestions. I used chicken broth instead of water, and I sauted the veggies first (along with some garlic), then added the rice. I also cut the chili powder in half, and added 1/2 tsp cumin. It turned out just spicy enough for us without being too hot.

This was perfect for a girl who doesn't *really* know what spanish rice tastes like! Added 1/2 t cumin and sub chix broth as others suggested. Perfect side with tacos and refined beans. I do like it saucier so I may add can of tomato sauce and decrease chicken broth (not water!) by 1/4 c. Delish!
