June 9, 2003 reciew: This was really good!! The rice was nice and moist. I like my rice a little on the moist side so this recipe fit right in. I followed it to the tee. Later on, I realized I should have cut the recipe in half since there was only me to cook for. I have some leftover, so I am going to make Stuffed Bell Peppers with it for my dinner tomorrow night. I think next time I make it, I will use green peppers instead of the red and see how it turns out. Thanks for a great way to cook rice Suzyq. Update: Dec 14 2003. This is one of my favorite rice dishes. I made it this morning. I cut the recipe in half and browned 2 skinned chicken thighs in the butter along with the onions. I then added the rice and liquids and cooked it altogether. It was soooo good. The chicken thighs came out so tender. It did not take any longer to make than it does without the chicken. This is true comfort food. It is good without the chicken as well but I wanted to try something different this time around. Thanks for a great recipe Suzy.

A decade Later...Works good with a citrus or ginger style beer and with the browned chicken one reviewer suggested!

I was looking for a side to go with a stew and gave this a go, end result was a moist rice that was enjoyed by the whole family, even kids...I used less than the amount of butter called for though but still with great results. Thanks for posting!

This was pretty good for us. Not bad. I left out the red pepper because I prefer it without them. My 13 year old loved it. I wonder if realized there was beer in it! One note- I put a chicken bouillon cube in a cup of water and dissolved it. I then added beer until I had a total of 2 cups liquid for the 1 cup rice ratio. It worked perfectly. Instead of fresh onions, I used onion flakes.
