If we are reviewing the recipe as printed, it was not very good. Like others said, it was very bland. I would look elsewhere.

I made this because the recipe looked less involved than other Spanish Rice recipes on this website. I took the advice of other reviewers (and noticed the lack of flavorful ingredients), and added some spices (it is a mix I own that includes cumin, chili powder, and I think bay leaves). I only gave it four stars since I have to toy with it to get great flavor, and I have yet to find the magic blend. But, this is a good start toward a quick Spanish Rice for dinner.

This was very good, however after reading the reviews first, I did add some cumin, taco seasoning mix and a dry salsa mix to spice it up a bit. I did not put in the green peppers. This was great w/ the salsa chicken recipe.

This recipe is very easy to make and season to taste. This is the first time I've made spanish rice that is not sticky, wet or mushy. It is almost perfect, I just have to make it a few more times and adjust the seasonings. I chopped up the stewed tomatoes because I hate big chunks of tomato in anything. I didn't have a green pepper or onion, so I used diced green chiles, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and minced garlic. I also used chicken stock instead of water. Thanks for the recipe, I love simple recipes that can be fixed up to taste.

I followed the instructions exactly as written, except I used rotelle tomatoes instead of stewed and I don't think it turned out anything like spanish rice. It was very mushy and alot of the water didn't cook off after the written cooking time. I gave it 3 stars only because my husband loved it- he said it was great with good flavor, so maybe it's just me???

I really liked this basic recipe. I followed others recommendations of spicing it up a little. I added 1 T. chili pdr., 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp. basil and 1 T. chicken bullion. Thanks for the recipe, I will make this again.

My kids usually run for the hills when anything other than plain, white rice with butter shows up on their plates. Not so anymore, they gobbled this recipe up with gusto, and I'm already looking forward to making it again!

This is a very good recipe for someone that has never made spanish rice before. I found it very easy to follow. The only thing I changed was I used Rotelle tomatoes with lime and cilantro instead of the regular stewed tomatoes. It adds a little spice to the recipe. Very good.

This rice really lacked flavor in my opinion. I think it needs to be spiced up a bit. I suggest that you heat a skillet with oil and add some cumin a pinch of oregano, minced garlic and rice. Let the rice get nice and toasty not burnt. This will give the rice a nice nutty taste. Also add a little salt to taste when you are adding your liquid to boil. Instead of plain tomatoes use a tomatoe with chiles or something similar and instead of the green pepper use a nice spanish chile pepper or sweet pepper. Dont worry they are not that spicy. Adjust the amount to your taste and presto- a really good rice dish... I love this variation. Again, good base recipe but it needs to be spiced up!

Excellent side dish; My son is extremely picky when it comes to eating and he gobbles it up and asks for more. It's an incredibly easy recipe and makes plenty.I use diced tomatoes rather than the stewed tomatoes in order to make the rice a little easier to spoon onto a plate.

It was a mediocre recipe. It was just too bland for my taste. My husband and I both agreed it needed something else for flavor. However, I liked the fact it was easy to make.

Again, needs more spices. Thanks for the advice on that. I halved the recipe, then added a cup of chopped leftover steak.

Great base for spanish rice. I will make it again. Went perfectly with chicken enchiladas.

This is a good basic recipe but made as is, it would have been too bland for us. I used a can of tomatoes with green chile's, used 1/2 cup of onion instead of 1/4 and added cumin and cayenne pepper. It makes a large amount so I used the leftover's to make stuffed peppers and it really added to the flavor of the peppers. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a very easy recipe, but bland. Next time I will add chile peppers & cumin & maybe some cayenne pepper to spice it up.

great recipe, i used san marzano tomatoes, it added a nice touch to the subtle flavers of a great dish!!!

This was a great a fast recipe my kids loved it and they are so picky when it come to spanish rice.
