Simple Spanish Rice
0
Julie Gurganus
"This is something my grandmother used to make, but she never used a recipe. It took me a long time to figure out just what she did. I think this is as close to hers as it gets. It's just a simple rice side dish, but if you add a pound of cooked ground beef or chicken you can serve it as a meal. I hope you enjoy."

Even after leaving out the tomato sauce completely, this was too tomato-y for us. The sweet, tomato flavor totally predominated this as a side dish.

I followed the instructions without the v8 juice and I thought it was fantastic. I also used brown rice instead, but it was still the instant variety so I didn't have to adjust cook times. Lov...

Great recipe. I didn’t have bell pepper to add but it still turned out perfect and tasted great!
