Delicous. Used instant rice instead of converted and just cut down on the water. Perfect side dish for fajitas.

Perfect...I have all the ingredients and nice and simple. Actually, now that I have this recipe, no need to buy expensive Spanish Rice mixes ever again. (That is why I came to look for the recipe. I may add some butter or oil, but I always make recipes as written the first time around. I knew I could depend on Sandra...first one I picked...:

I followed the recipe exactly as it was written, and our rice came out wonderful! So easy and not overly spicy and will definitely make this again. The rice didn't turn mushy like some reviews stated - it was perfectly cooked. I think if you stick to the exact brands listed, you won't be disappointed.

I read the comments on this recipe and it seems to me that there is an issue with the amount of liquid. Uncle Ben's CONVERTED Rice calls for 3 1/3c of liquid for 1 1/2 cups' worth of rice (and makes 6 servings. If you don't have that on hand, cook whatever rice you have according to the directions on the package and you should be fine, I believe. Hope this helps in some way. :

I made this with my chicken enchiladas and my family loved it. However, I used 2 c of chicken broth and rotel tomatoes with green chiles. I also, added a pinch of adobo seasoning and ground red pepper for a little extra taste. My family loves spicy foods. Will make this again!

I made this the other night and found it to be VERY bland even though I made it exactly as it says.. I too watched her make it on TV and could have sworn she used 1 1/3cup water as well. The rice was too mushy! Gonna try it again but add salt & pepper & less water!

I would try to make this again with only 2c. water...possibly with chix broth instead. Just awfull with the 31/2 c. water. You can actually taste the water in the rice. AWFULL!!!! The seasonings were great, but what is she thinking with the liquid??? I may try this again, but I am thinking Zatarans spanish rice is a better bet than this recipe.

Brown 1 cup white rice in 2 tablespoons of oil. Dice 1 garlic clove, small tomato, small onion, small bell pepper. Saute vegetables with already browned rice. Add 1 tablespoon Knorr's Caldo de Tomate, 2 cups water or chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon cummin, dash pepper, salt (optional. The Tomate has salt in it. Return to boil, cover, turn heat as low as possible. Simmer 15 minutes on low. Let set 5 minutes and serve. I like to serve with tamales or enchiladas. I also add 1/4 cup thawed in microwave frozen peas and 1/2 cup frozen and thawed yellow corn.
