Katherine's Spanish Rice image

This is just an awesome Spanish rice dish that I always prepare with my recipe for Mexican Corn Bread (#110947). I also make Mexican Fried Corn (#58803)which is really tasty and goes well with my Spanish Rice and Mexican Corn Bread. If you are in the mood for Mexican some evening, make all three dishes and you won't be disappointed, neither will your guests!
