Both my hubby and I enjoy a spicy chili! However, I must adjust my recipes to suit the tastes of the three young children I’m feeding. In order to make up for the heat that is absent, we like to add a few dashes of Sriracha® or freshly chopped jalapeno and onion. Goldfish crackers on top are a favorite among children! But as with any chili, you are welcome to garnish it anyway you choose. The salsiccia is the greatest, in our opinion, if you’re fortunate enough to live close to an Italian market. Alternatively, you might use another type of ground Italian sausage. Despite the lack of spiciness, it is flavorful!

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chopped onion until browned, about 8 minutes.

Reviews
It tastes great, but if you double the recipe, and use regular long grain rice, expect it to take a LOT longer, and use about twice as much liquid as the recipe calls for. Still is a great recipe!
Ready and fast and delicious.
The family loved it!
So quick and easy and super tasty. Both hubby and I really enjoyed this. The only thing I did different was to add a little cayenne pepper.
Super easy to make. Not really authentic but it doesn’t claim to be. I added a little bit of crushed garlic with the onion and some southwest mixed veggies at the end to serve as a side for fajita night. Everyone at my table enjoyed this recipe and I will be making it again.
Amazing recipe! My family loved it and it was delicious.
I made this because it was the only one I searched that contained the ingredients I had on hand, with the only exception being that I used cauliflower rice instead of regular. I made a single serving size as opposed to the 4 servings, and made my husband one of the boxed spanish rice with real rice. I let him try both and he liked the cauliflower one better. I followed the directions exactly, even the full amount of water and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Tasted fresh and wonderful.
Very tasty and it went perfect with the firecracker mexican casserole. However I used vegtable broth and regular jasamine rice. So I increased the vegtable broth. I don’t really like chicken.
Thought it was a little bit Bland at 1st but added my own specialty mix of spices and it came out great
I was very happy with the results. Everyone liked it.
can use tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes
Great recipe. Even I couldn’t mess it up. Will definitely make again.
This is tasty! I’ve made one other version, and so far this is my favorite. Not too much going on, but just enough flavor. I think I should have cooked it a little bit longer, because the rice was a little bit undercooked. Other than that it was great!
Awesome easy Spanish rice recipe. Going to use less cilantro next time was a little over powering but still good
I always make a recipe the way it’s supposed to be the first time. Then I will make adjustments next time. I made this Spanish rice and it is absolutely the best I’ve ever had
so yummy and very easy to make!
It was easy to make. I followed another reviewer’s idea of using tomato paste with equal amount of water. I added some beef boullion, cumin, chili and garlic. I forgot to add the cilantro but added can of green chili and a can of drained corn. We enjoyed it and happy it was easy to make!
It was fantastic! I did 2 bags of boil in bag rice with 15 oz chicken broth, 1 can of drained corn and topped with Mozzarella Cheese. My husband loves rice, but my kids and I don’t usually care for it. Both of my children asked for seconds, my husband said it was the best ever, and I actually enjoyed it!
This was very good and quite simple to put together. Like others, I used Rotel. I love the flavor the cilantro gives it!
Pretty good but not spicey enough for my husband. I added a can of green chilis to spice it up a bit and followed the directions for cumin, etc. It was okay.
Loved this recipe. I used garlic onion diced tomatoes and added more cilantro and seasonings. My Dad loved it!
