  1. The Husband and I loved this. The Cakes - no - but she's real picky. I made it according to the recipe, except for subbing a can of green chilies for the green pepper. (which Princess doesn't like) I think I may have over-baked it too. The recipe didn't say whether or not to cover it in the oven, so I didn't, nor did I check on it,so it got a bit dry. BUT, I'm willing to give it another shot! I had refrried beans on the side with queso fresco, and I added a little sour cream and Frank's Hot Sauce to my portion. Thanks Michelle!
     
  2. Yumm,yum Michelle!!I make spanish rice often but I liked the twist of adding gound meat to make it a dish all its own!I had to sub salsa for the chili sauce but it was still delicioso!!I also used diced tomatoes instead of the whole.A winner in my book!Thanks for this peppy recipe!
     
  3. This was excellent. I actually substituted Beef rice a roni for the rice and used salsa instead of the chili sauce, only because I had it in the cupboard, but my DH and DS both loved it! Thanks for the recipe.
     
  4. This was great! I used brown rice and it was still a little crunchy but my family still loved it!! I used salsa because I didn't have chili sauce and diced tomatoes instead of whole. I also used red pepper instead of green and chicken instead of beef. I think that this would be a great recipe for the crock pot!! Thanks for the recipe! We will eat this again and again!
     
  5. This was awesome, Michelle! I didn't have a can of whole tomatos, so I substituted one 8 oz. can tomato sauce and one can Rotel. We are not fans of "typical" Spanish rice, but really loved this version.
