Recipe: Mom's Spanish Rice
Archived on 07/20/2009
One of our favorite slam-together suppers is my mom's recipe for Spanish Rice.
Brown 1 lb (more or less) ground beef or turkey. Chop a medium onion and add to beef.
Add
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- A couple of celery stalks, chopped
- A green pepper, chopped (I have been chopping and freezing mine from the garden, here, lately)
- A large can of crushed tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Simmer until the vegetables are nice and tender and add 2-3 cups COLD cooked rice and heat to simmer stage. Hot rice just goes to mush and just isn't very nice.
This serves 4-6 hungry people with a salad and some bread and butter.

Recipe: Quick Spanish Rice
Archived on 07/20/2009
I have a recipe I came up with myself. I love Spanish rice but can't ever seem to make it like restaurants do. So here's what I do.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of Minute rice
- 1 jar of salsa
- 1 can of chicken broth
- 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- chopped onion, (how ever much you prefer)
Directions:
In a two cup measuring jar pour in 1 cup of salsa, then 1 cup of chicken broth.
Saute your chopped onion in butter on med high heat until it's slightly soft.
Add the salsa / chicken broth mixture, tomato sauce, and bring to a boil. Add rice, cover, remove from heat and let sit for 20-30 minutes or until the rice is nice and fluffy. Makes about 4 servings of rice.
