This was so simple and really delish. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks StarterWife for a great side dish for enchiladas. Made for All You Can Cook Buffet tag.

I used canned diced tomatoes with chiles instead of rotel and a can of sloppy joe sauce instead of regular tomato sauce. (It was what I had on hand) This was absolutely hands down the easiest and best tasting spanish rice I have ever made! I had 12 kids over for taco supper, and doubled the recipe as a side. Every last grain of rice was gone, and they were looking for more! Thank you for this recipe!!

This was my first pick of the PAC 2007. I knew I'd like how quick this was, but I really loved the flavor! I made a taco seasoning (by Sugerpea) and it really had some flavor. The tomato sauce made it nice and hearty. We served it with fajitas and I just put my mixture on top of the rice (minus the tortilla) since it was so good. Thanks Ezbee, for posting a recipe I'm sure to make again. Roxygirl
