This Recipe for Spanish Rice is a family favorite, especially when it is made from my recipe. This recipe is not the traditional Spanish Rice Recipe. We are a family that loves the flavor of beef added to our sides, therefore, I got a little creative with the traditional. There are never any leftovers from family gatherings of this Spanish Rice Recipe.

Ingredients:
- Ground beef (I use 93% lean)

- Minute Rice

- beef broth or bouillon
- cumin
- chili powder
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- black pepper
- Lawry’s seasoning
Instructions:
Sautee above and season with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Lawrys
I do not drain oil unless there is a large amount. I believe this helps to further season the rice
Add Minute rice, tomato juice, chili powder, cumin and Lawry’s and beef broth (just enough for flavor), or a bouillon cube.
Then stir it all together.
Connie’s Extras To Basic Spanish Rice Recipe:
These are those little extras that make my family recipe special to my family.
When the rice starts to soften, I add some optional things
A small squirt of yellow mustard, about 3 squirts of ketchup, about 2 tsp. of brown sugar and
about ½ cup spicy V-8.
Depending on your families taste some other options would be can of diced green chilis, or a can of
diced jalapenos.
Quantities of above depends on amount you want to make. For our family meals I use 2 lbs. of ground beef 1onion and 1 green pepper and one small box of Minute Rice and a jar of tomato juice.
