Easy and YUMMY! This is an excellent recipe. We used chopped green chiles instead of green peppers. Everything else was left the same. Thanks!

This is a great recipe and very easy to put together. I only put in 1 tsp. of salt and I simmered it slowly for close to an hour. It is a wonderful addition to my cookbook.

This made for an easy and tasty rice side dish. I served this with grilled tilapia and roasted broccoli. I used basmati rice, so I reduced water to just over a cup and it was plenty. My rice was done in 10 min. I also used red bell pepper instead of green as that was what I had. I had a can of spanish tomato sauce and I used about 6oz. Thanks for posting the recipe, Trixyinaz!

This is the best spanish rice recipe i have tried so far and definitely the easiest. My husband loves rice beans and tortillas once a week.

This was very good and easy. Just what I was looking for to go with burritos. I used less onions and peppers. Thanks for the recipe!

This is the best spanish rice recipe EVER! It is almost every bit as easy as making the packaged stuff, but it tastes 100% better. It's as good (if not better) than any I've ever had in a restaurant. I have definitely added this easy, tasty recipe to my cookbook!

This was awesome! The only thing I did different was to use some fresh chopped garlic (instead of the garlic powder) when I simmered the rice and onion. It was perfect! Thanks for the recipe!

This was really easy to make. I didn't have tomato sauce so I used a tin of chopped tomatoes instead. I don't know if that affected the taste a lot, but I felt that it was lacking some flavour, so I crumbled 1/2 a vegetable stock cube into the dish, which added just what I was looking for. Next time I'll replace the water with vegetable stock, or at least half of it. We served it with a grilled chicken breast fillet and it made for a nice and healthy meal. Thanks for sharing!

Made a few changes, but absolutely loved this recipe. Cooked a couple small cloves of garlic with the onion and rice and omitted the green pepper because I didn't have any. I will add it next time because I know it will be a great addition. Made a great side dish. Thank you so much for a keeper of a recipe!
