Great recipe! Quick and easy to make with just a few ingredients. I've made this twice with ground meat and might try it next with vegetable protein for the non-meat eaters in my household.
I added a tsp of smoked paprika :-P
This was really good. I added a cup of frozen peas and carrots at the end. Before serving I topped it with a Mexican cheese blend. I will definitely make this again.
Could this be made using barley instead? I am on a very special diet for health reasons. What about brown rice?
Love this recipe. Easy and delicious. Made as written except I substituted a small can of green chilies since I didn't have a green pepper on hand. Very good that way, too!
Great recipe. Not a million ingredients. Simple and delicious! The only changes I made was to double the ingredients so I would have leftovers and instead of tomato juice I used crushed tomatoes and cooked my rice separately so it wouldn't dry up all of the liquid. Thank you for a dish like my Mom used to make. Comfort food for a cold Syracuse, N.Y. winter night!
I tried this the other day and it was good. The only thing I would do differently in the future is to use half tomato juice and half water. It really had too much tomato taste for me. I added cheese on top but otherwise did it as written.
Would use this recipe again. I add cheese on top as I served it. I don't have the juice so l use tomato sauce and rotel
I made this dish a few months back, forgot to save it. So I searched and searched and found it again. It is so delicious! I am going to add a bit more V8 juice and more rice to adjust the beef to rice ratio. When I was young and my mom made spanish rice she had lots of mouths to feed so more rice than meat. I may end up reverting to the original if its a mess. I totally recommend this recipe :)
Ok so i made this today for dinner, because i had everything in hand eccept tomato juice so i used a 15oz can of tomato sauce and add 15oz of water, it tastes really really good, i added some sofrito i had frozen in a ice cube tray and some sazon seasoning yummmmmm, all i can say is the rice is taking forever to cook,maybe its the substitute of tom sauce maybe i used more than one lb of meat idk, its like some of the rice its tender and some it still crunchy, so I added 3/4cp water (all the liquid had already absorbed)and turned up the heat so im hoping it evens out. But super easy to throw together,tastes great,smellls amazing, just taking a little longer than i hoped to actually be severable. Still five stars because im feeling like the rice not cooking even is my fault .
