Spanish Rice Original
recipe from AllRecipes see it here .. great reviews on this recipe
This rice is really good, I needed to add a lil more chicken broth along the way because the broth got low and the rice was sticking but it has a little spiciness to it which is soo yummy. I dont add corn or olives to mine (ick) but I wish I would have had bell peppers . Ill definitely make this again. Ohh I made Pork Enchiladas out of the Pork Carnitas recipe that I have on here YUMMO
P.S almost forgot to add, I didnt use bacon in this at all but did use some bacon fat for browning the veggies and rice
