Mom's Spanish Rice image

This is very close to the way my Mom made Spanish Rice. This dish was taken to every pot-luck we attended, not because it was what she wanted to take but it was what everyone asked her to bring. This is a very simple dish with only as much spice in it as you want. I am posting it as the very basic recipe. You can add to it what you like to suit your palate. I like to serve this with creamy coleslaw.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced (options -- green or red pepper, garlic, celery)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
8 ounces tomato soup
1 -2 cup water
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup long grain white rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Brown ground beef, break it up as it browns.
  • When the ground beef is taking on colour add in the diced onion and salt and pepper.
  • Add in any optional vegetables at this point.
  • When onion has softened add the vinegar and brown sugar.
  • Add the tomato soup and water, stir well. I start with 1 and 1/2 cups of water, you likely will need to add more as it cooks.
  • Adjust the seasoning if you need to.
  • Add in the uncooked rice and stir.
  • Pour into a casserole dish.
  • Bake in oven for 45 -60 minutes, cover for the first 1/2 hour. Check after 1/2 hour and add more water if it seems too dry.
  • You want it to be a bit dry in the end, soft but not mushy.
