Old El Paso Spanish Rice, 7.6 oz. (Pack of 12)

This is the best Spanish rice I've found. It tastes fresh and yummy by itself, or in a casserole. RECIPE: Arroz con Pollo (Use only Old El Paso Spanish Rice in a box!) Boil 3-4 chicken breasts in water with 2 bay leaves and a few pepper corns. Prepare 2 boxes of rice according to directions on box, using chicken broth plus water, if needed. While rice is cooking, debone chicken and shred with fork. When rice is done, add chicken, and 1/2 to 3/4 c. sour cream to rice. Mix well. Layer casserole pan (9 x 13) with refried beans, then add rice mixture. Top with grated cheddar cheese, and heat until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Put your own twist on it by adding black olives, chopped green onions, jalapenos, etc. Great with green salad. This rice is hard to find in our area, so I've ordered it from Amazon the last couple of times I've needed it. Thanks, Amazon, for making it available to me.

For some reason (thanks COVID-19) I couldn't find this in the grocery store (only the cheesy kind and we don't like that nearly as much as the regular). So happy I found it on Amazon. This is the right taste for all my family members. Not spice but not bland.

The BEST Spanish rice.

The quality of this is very good. It's not a quick rice, and the spice mix is excellent. Some mixes are a little bit too strong in tomato taste, and it's more like Tomato Rice, and not Spanish Rice. I'm not taking a star away from it, but even in a non-stick pan, for which I use a very high quality one, the rice gets as close to sticking as you can get with a non-stick pan, and because of that you really need to pay attention to it, or at least that's my experience. After about 15 minutes you need to stir it about every 5 minutes. Otherwise the cook is just a tiny bit uneven.

Value for the money! Quality

Since i cant find anywhere in my area that sells them and its one of my favorites, i dont mind waiting. Especially when i order before im completely out. Takes a bit to cone but always delicious!

My grocery store stopped carrying this and I was so sad because I loved it! Luckily I was able to find it on Amazon!

Mexican rice is not a difficult dish to make, but it does take some time...more time than it takes to prepare one of these Old El Paso Spanish rice dishes. We like to make our own Spanish rice but these are really nice to have when you have time constraints imposed on you and you have to bang out dinner quickly. Living in Southern New Mexico like we do, you basically have no choice but to become an authority on Tex-Mex food, and I can say that the Old El Paso brand Spanish rice is the closest we have found to homemade. Granted, this rice will never be as good as homemade Spanish rice, but it's something we don't mind settling for when we don't have time to make the real thing.
