REALLY good - but way too hot if you use hot Rotel AND the chili powder. Next time, will use regular Rotel w/ green chiles & the 2 t chili powder. Also, added a can of sliced new potatoes to the onion & rice when sautéing (mainly b/c my grandmother always cut up a potato to use in her Spanish rice.) Will be using this as my go-to Spanish rice from now on.

Easy and very tasty. I don't usually post changes to a recipe, as I like to make them as the owner intended. However, if you double this recipe using the online tool, you do not need to use 1/4 cup oil to brown the rice and onions. I cut it back significantly.

This was my first attempt at making Spanish Rice and it came out very good. I used some of Jodie Lynn's suggestions and used chicken broth and added two cloves of garlic. I also used a whole bell pepper and instead of diced tomatoes with green chiles I used Ro-tel diced tomatoes with lime juice & cilantro. I also added a heaping teaspoon of cumin because I love the spice. I will be making this again.

I also use chicken broth instead of water, chopped garlic and I also add oregano and cumin, as did another reviewer. I double my recipe so I used 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. This dish is delicious .

We have Mexican food every Christmas Eve and this is the rice. I double it because it's a favorite leftover. I use veggie broth instead of water & add garlic and cumin and a bit of fresh cilantro or parsley. When moisture is almost gone, I lower heat VERY low and let it dry out slowly while fluffing and watching carefully so that it dries without burning or being sticky.
