This was so easy to make. It’s things that you already have in your home. Perfect for someone that needs a quick.

Delicious as is.

I made this according to the recipe. It is a nice, budget-friendly comfort food, just like my mother’s.
Jessica Perkins
This was excellent!! The only change I made was using a yellow bell pepper because I had it on hand and my husband forgot to pick up a green one. Such a simple and tasty meal. My whole family devoured it and said they definitely want it again!!
Barbara Elliott
Made the recipe exactly as directed and we loved it! Perfectly spiced. Better than I remembered from childhood. Will be a permanent option in our kitchen.

Took me back to my Mom’s kitchen. Deceptively and delightfully simple to whip together. In less than 30 minutes.

I think many moms had some version of Spanish Rice made with ground beef. While this didn’t hit home with me it was a good base recipe.
Raymond Hamilton

This dish turned out very delicious but I did make some changes. Used a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilis Tomato sauce with Italian seasonings. 1 1/2 Tbs of chili powder 1/2 Tbs of chipotle chili powder for a little kick ! I added minced garlic besides the garlic salt. This recipe is a keeper ! Do take into account the extra liquid in the Ro-Tel tomatoes so adjust the water accordingly.

Turned out very well. I used brown rice to make it a little healthier.
Michael Moore
Great recipe. Better the 2nd day.

Pretty classic. I made half of the recipe so we wouldn’t be eating it for days. So I used a small can of tomato sauce and the whole can of diced tomatoes (just drained and use the juice as part of the water.) No garlic salt so substituted about a tsp of garlic powder and one of salt.
