I'm looking for a recipe for Spanish rice. Hope someone out there can help me out. Thank you.

I've found a few online. I didn't read them so they might be the same version from different sites.

I always use Rice-A-Roni Spanish Rice Mix. I use it when I make a Mexican dinner and it is absolutely outrageous when you make stuffed peppers with hamburger!

Quick and easy and very tasty. You can doctor it up with a little salsa or some tabasco if you like. Edie

My Spanish rice has evolved into a full blown one dish quick supper. Brown ground beef, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, add garlic, taco seasonings or other spices of choice, 2 cans chopped tomatoes (one with green chilies), simmer while rice cooks in microwave. Add rice, eat. Serve with tortilla chips or garlic bread. Good substitute for spagetti for those on gluten free diet.

That sounds really good! I'm going to try it!

Thanks. Good recipe for days you spend quilting. Best if you break up the beef into very small pieces while it is browning not leave it too chunked.

I had a SIL who was Mexican. She sauted the rice in oil for a few minutes, added tomato paste, seasonings and then water and let it cook. It was the best I've ever had. Wish I had paid attention to the seasonings though.

This looks good, so will try it. Thank you.

I'll go through these and see what I find. Thank you for your help.

A very good Mexican friend of mine gave me this recipe, she has sense past away, enjoy.

SPANISH RICE

1 c Long Grain White Rice
½ Onion (small) Chopped
Cumin (Ground)
Ground Pepper
Crushed Garlic (or Garlic Salt)
Salt (if you use Garlic Salt you might not need)
Chicken Bouillon (cubes or powder)
¾ c Tomato Sauce
3 c Water

Brown rice (to golden) add chopped onion, cumin, ground pepper, crushed garlic, and tomato sauce. Add water and chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil, turn down to low and cook for 30 minutes. Check, if the water is gone before the 30 minutes, remove from burner.

Cumin, pepper, bouillon and garlic to taste. If you use bouillon cubes, I usually use 6 small or 3 large.

Here's one I got off the Minute Rice box years ago. Have tweaked it to suit our likes over the years.
In a skillet with a couple tablespoons of oil (your choice) saute about a half cup thinly sliced onions (and diced garlic if you like) and 1 to 1 1/2 cup of minute rice. Add 1 can of stewed tomatoes (broken up into small pieces), about a half cup of water or a can of tomato sauce depending on how strong you like the tomato flavor and salt and pepper to taste. If you like some zip add a tablespoon or two of salsa or picante sauce. Bring to a boil,cover and lower heat to simmer for 5 minutes or until the rice is soft. Stir well and serve. If you prefer you can substitute a couple of cans of tomato sauce and extra water for the tomatoes. You can also add chili power, cumin or any other spice to your taste.

Thanks everyone. Haven't had this for years and years. Will go through all of the suggestions and hopefully make some. My mom used to make this for us when we were kids. I LOVED it. My husband hates rice, oh well:):( Looks like I'll be eating leftovers:) YUMMY

We love the rice a roni. Tastes delish.

do not stir your rice while it is cooking u will have mush
also do not put tomm much water cover the rice w/ water
you can always add but not take out
cover you pan w/ a lid while cooking for added steam
garlic and cumin to your taste
cumin is very strong a little goes a long way
after it is ready turn off the stove and let rest for a few minutes
do not dig in right of way

I grew up eatting mexican rice and love to add chicken to make it a meal

That looks very much like one I used to make years ago and was really good. Thank you so much for sharing.
