You'll find my Spanish Rice is so much better than any boxed variety found in grocery stores. Best of all, it can be prepared in about the same time as those so-called convenience foods using items found in your pantry.—Anne Yaeger, Washington DC, Washington

I love this rice! I 'health it up' a bit by cooking whole grain brown rice in beef broth. About halfway through the cook time, I add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper. Sometimes I'll throw in a dash of chili powder and cumin. It's very yummy!

My kids hate Spanish Rice from a box and wine evertime I made it. I tried this one where I can control the spice and now they love it. I'll never use the box again.

What a great recipe! I had been using packaged Spanish Rice, but this is WAY better and just about as easy and quick!

My family loves this as a side dish with chicken fajitas. I add chopped green peppers to mine and leave off the sugar and reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon. It is delicious. Thanks for a great and easy side dish recipe.

Everyone loved the flavor & moisture of the rice. I was surprised with how well it turned out. Definitely better than anything out of a box, and it didn't take much more effort!

I am cooking for a 15 man harvest crew and make this weekly. Its a big hit! The only thing I add is a can of tomato sauce along with the boiling water.
