Made this for dinner tonight and my guest went crazy for it. It is good, not really authentic, but still very very good.

I made this recipe for a party that I had a few years ago, and just found your recipe again. Nothing was left over! People were going back for more. One guy went back 3 times! Thanks for the recipe.

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!
