Baked Spanish Rice Recipe, white rice with a mixture of green pepper, onion, garlic, and tomato; the perfect side dish to any Mexican meal.

 

Baked Spanish Rice Recipe

The baked Spanish rice recipe is super simple to make and is baked in the oven and comes out darn near perfect.

When we go out to eat I am always excited about the Spanish rice that is served with the meal. Did you know that it is super easy to make at home? And you know what they say homemade is always so much better. So true!

I had mentioned a while back that we celebrated our son-in-law’s birthday a few weeks back. He requested tacos for his dinner. Spanish rice came to mind for one of the sides. It was perfect and everyone loved it with the tacos.

Have you ever tried baking rice?

I actually just started baking rice. Believe me when I say it is super easy and that I love it. It comes out perfect every time.

How do you make baked Spanish rice?

You start the recipe on the stovetop. In a cast-iron skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic saute until the veggies start to get tender. Once the onion and green pepper start to get soft add the chopped tomatoes into the mixture and stir in. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil remove from the heat, and cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately forty minutes (stirring once about halfway through) Then remove the foil and bake another ten minutes, and there you have it… Spanish rice.
