This is a wonderful beginning recipe. I only cooked a cup of rice, so I lowered the liquid to 2 cups. I used one whole onion, a can of rotel tomatoes, and for liquid I used chicken broth instead of water. I have a pampered chef microwave rice cooker, and after I sauted the onions, peppers, and rice I added to the rice cooker. I also put about a tsp of fajita seasoning mix for seasoning. I put in microwave and cooked on high for 5 mins then at 50% cooking for 25 mins. This was wonderful the night of, but gets better the next day. A definite keeper!!

This was the best Spanish Rice I have ever cooked. Also, it is much better than any Spanish rice we have had in restaurants. I added a chopped jalopeno pepper because we enjoy spicy foods.

Very good rice. But it need a little more flover so i add about a table spoon of miced garlic and i use two cans of stewed tomatoes and one can of tomatoe sauce. I like mine with more tomatoe flover.

This is a great recipe the only change I made was to use chicken boullion cubes to the water. This gives it a great flavor

I made this, but omitted the green pepper and add celery, cilantro, a dash of cumin and garlic salt. We like it with a little kick and use rotel instead of stewed tomatoes.

I thought spanish rice had bacon, ground beef and grated cheese in the recipe. This one sounds like it could use those ingredients. Just a thought.

I really shouldn't rate this...since I did alter the recipe and I hate when people do that and then give a rating...however this turns out great everytime for me when I make the following changes: Sub the water for chicken stock, subbed the stewed tomatoes with Pace Picante Sauce. With the Picante sauce I don't even add the bell pepper and onion.

Wasn't as "restaurant-style" texture as I was expecting f/ other reviews, but still good. I did add cayenne pepper (a little more than I should have for my palate! I don't do spicy!). I also used salsa instead of tomatoes. Flavor was good w/ those changes.

This recipe is a good start. The consistency is just right, but the flavor is lacking. I like to spice it up with tumeric, cumin, and garlic, and I replace the water with chicken broth. I've also tried it with vegetable broth and some tomato paste, but I think the tomato paste washed out the other flavors and it wasn't as enjoyable.
