I get great results when I use this recipe for both my beef and venison jerky as well as my elk jerky. To extend shelf life, freeze or chill the jerky afterward.

A tasty side! I left out the spice for my kids and still tasted yummy!
We found the ketchup in this to be an issue. It was overly sweet and overpowered all the flavors developed from the spices. Perhaps salsa would be a better choice.
I used a can of chopped tomaties, omitted the ketchup and at the end I added black beans. This is a keeper!
Loved it!
Love the spices! Substituted crushed tomatoes for the ketchup. Made it as a side with tilapia — I’ll definitely make it again.
Yummy! I added some tomato paste, only two onions and used canned beans and corn( cooking with what I have) and it came out great!
The spices smelled heavenly!!! But overall, the finished dish seemed dry. Some have used canned diced tomatoes…but I may substitute the ketchup for a small can of tomato sauce next time and use 3 cups of rice. And the dollop of sour cream on the top would have been good too…forgot that part. The flavor was wonderful!
Used this recipe with leftover rice (basmati, no less). Did not use ketchup but instead used canned diced tomatoes and included the juice. Did not use the corn or green pepper. Was very casual with measuring the spices and it worked really well. thanks!
Made 5/23/12: Wonderful!!!!! Could be a side dish for almost anything. Please make again. Didn’t use any red pepper, cayenne, onions or gr pepper….had already made once to take to a family so I skipped some….NEXT time either put onion flakes in with spices and use green pepper or use can of mexi corn that has it in it. Did use chili powder in place of red pepper, but would try a little red next go round. Used 1 Can of corn loosely drained….1/2 C tomatoes and 2T ketchup. GREAT
loved it! used sazon spice instead of the tumeric (didn’t have tumeric) and a small can of tomato sauce in lieu of the ketchup. Added fresh garlic and chopped cilantro and it was awesome! thx for the post Sandy 🙂
Not bad. Next time I’ll omit the green peppers. I thought this dish was just ok.
I made only one substitution, red peppers instead of green, because I had them on hand and omitted the corn, which I didn’t have. I have to agree with Newcook, the turmeric and catsup overpowered the dish, masking the other wonderful flavors. That said, I really liked the the look of the dish and how easily it all came together. I will definitely try this again without turmeric and catsup. With the other spices and fresh tomatoes I think this could be a winner. Thanks, Sandy!
the spices overpowered each other – ex: turmeric and ketchup… horrible taste.
Very good. Went well with tacos that we had for a birthday party.
Delicious! I made a healthier version with brown rice, extra veggies (mushrooms and spinach), and fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. I also omitted the ketchup as suggested by others and it was not missed. Also used red instead of green onion b/c it was what I had on hand and it was still fabulous. Served with simple grilled salmon.
This dish was ok. I expected it to be alot spicier. I wouldn’t make it again becaue it didn’t WOW me.
This was a really good rice dish that even my non-rice eaters liked. I used chili powder instead of the red pepper, and used about 12 oz. of crushed tomatoes instead of the fresh tomatoes and ketchup.
Mmmm! It was wonderful! I’ll have to try it with shrimp.
Quick and easy way to use leftover rice. I used 1 can of diced tomato instead of fresh, left out the ketchup, and replaced green peper with 1 Tbls dried flakes. The spice combination is very fragrant but not overwhelming
My search has ened for a good Mexican rice dish…I made this once as a side dish, and then the second time I added in some ground turkey and made a meal out of it. Leftovers are great too!
This is good. I added black beans as suggested and used the tomato as an optional garnish (one of my sons is a tomato-hater). otherwise made as written. Thanks for the recipe!
