I sauted some green onions in the butter and then browned the rice some before I added the other ingredients. I used diced tomatoes with green chilies and cut the chili powder to 1 tsp. I also used a little less cumin and oregano than the recipe called for. But all in all, a very easy and tasty recipe for Spanish rice.

I loved this because there are no onions to chop, and it makes a generous amount. Once the cooking time was up, I left it alone (covered) on the stove and didn't bother it until I served dinner - just stirred once to put it in the serving dish. I think that made it fluffier! Great side dish for our taco dinner - tasty and not overpowering. And leftovers will be delicious.

Very tasty and easy! I also added cumin as well as a small can of diced green chiles. The water had cooked away after 25 minutes but the rice was still a bit crunchy and underdone so I stirred in a half cup water and cooked for another 10 minutes. Maybe my heat was too high. Still, an excellent and easy recipe for a yummy side dish! Thank you for posting!

This was very easy and very delicious. I also made "Salsa Chicken" (#27475), sliced it, and fanned it over the top. Tonight with the leftovers I will make burritos. I'll bet there's a delicious soup waiting to happen in there too. Oh, how I love meals that turn into other meals. I will use this recipe from now on, thanks for posting!

This was a fantastic rice recipe!! I didn't have stewed tomatoes on hand - so I used diced and it worked out great. I increased the chicken broth by 1/4 cup - to make up for the stewed tomatoes. My rice was cooked in 20 minutes. I tossed it with the grated cheddar cheese and placed it on a platter and sprinkled it with the green onions. WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for posting!!

This was great! I found that the rice cooked perfectly as directed (I used basmati rice). It was both quick and easy to prepare. I did up the seasoning just slightly, and added some chopped jalapeno to the rice for an added kick (it didn't turn out too spicy, but just right!) I would definitely make this again! Thanks for a great recipe!

Yummy! Much better than the boxed "Spainish Rice" you buy in the store. The chunks of tomato might not settle well with those who aren't huge tomato fans.

So good and so easy! My husband loved it also. From now on, I'm never making spanish rice out of a box. I added a teaspoon of cumin.

This was very easy! I did everything the way the recipe said, except I added about 3/4 cup of frozen peas and diced carrots. I really like that you just put it all in one pot at the same time and let it cook.
