This was a BIG hit! I added 2 green onions, red and yellow bell pepper, 1/2 tsp saffron threads, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 cup peas and corn and a little taco seasoning that I had left over. Used 1 1/4 rice and 1 1/2 chicken broth. Used the hot rotel tomatoes and skipped the green chilis. Didn't use bacon (we don't eat it)....it was really Bomb as the kids say. Thanks for a great recipe that I could make my own!!! Will make this many, many times.

VERY GREAT!!! The first time i made this i followed the recipe to the T but the texture of the rice was some done some too done. I couldnt get a consistant heat (probly my lack of great pans) Anyways the second time i put the rice tomatos and chicken broth in the rice cooker, let that go its course and then mixed everything when the rice was through cooking and i got PERFECT rice. It turned out great. will make this over and over again. thanks very much!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is delicious. I used a red pepper instead of the green. It gave the rice a nice color. And for presentation, I put this in a glass 13x9 baking pan and topped with cheddar cheese and sliced black olive. Everyone ate it up. We will certainly make this again. Thank you!

The "Rotel" ingredient got my attention as I know Rotel tomatoes make any recipe calling for chopped tomatoes better. Being a Texan, there is always at least one or two cans of Rotel in my pantry. When I try a recipe for the first time (as I did today), I make every effort to follow it exactly so that I know if it is a keeper.If it is, then I can "play" with it, if needed, the next time I make it. I was unable to do that today, as I had no chilies on hand, though I usually do. Also, I used long grain BROWN rice, because it's the only rice I use (diabetic in family), and omitted the bacon though I did use bacon grease as the recipe calls for. I've tried alot of recipes for Spanish rice and none come close to the real deal. This one does.The texture and flavor of the rice is as flavorful as authentic Mexican rice. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you Denise!
