I have become a huge fan of meals being ready in 30 minutes or less. This Spanish rice is another great one for the list! I’m adding it to our list of favorite 30 minute meals along with eggroll skillet and skillet mac and beef.

Thanks to this Spanish rice recipe, I can feed my family a great meal, without them getting stuck with cereal, or perhaps goldfish… because that’s never happened before.

This has a long list of ingredients, don’t let that scare you. This an is easy meal to make, and it’s ready in 30 minutes. If it’s ready in 30 minutes it can’t be that hard to make, right? It has a lot of flavor with all those ingredients.
