  I added a dash of chili power and a dash of cayenne pepper. I made sure to use onion powder and not onion salt. Served it w/ chicken tacos and fat free refried beans.

  I thought the rice was EXTREMELY salty. I could not even it eat it. It was very flavorful if it would not have been so salty. - 6/21/10

  I add 1/2 c chopped onion and 2 cloves chopped garlic to this recipe (cooking in the oil for about 3 minutes before I put the rice in to brown) and omit the onion powder. Then I procceed with the recipe as is. This is delicious and comes out like restaurant Mexican rice every time. Love it! - 2/19/10

  Although I slightly adjusted the seasoning because I think that is not enough flavor for the whole plain rice and tomato sauce, I really appreciate this recipe for cook technique and time. I used some leftover diced onion, sauteed first, and added Penzey's Southwest seasoning. It came out perfectly. - 5/13/19

  I used brown rice and a bit more broth and added in a small can of diced tomatoes, instead of tomato sauce! It came out very well. - 1/25/13

  I made this for lunch yesterday with the Southwestern Pork Tenderloin that was on my meal planner. The BF liked it so much he had seconds, and that never happens when I cook. :) I did add a lot of onion powder because I felt that the tomato was too overwhelming of a taste. - 2/6/12

  This was good, but the calories are off. The rice should be calculated as dry not already cooked. But still low cal after it's fixed in the calculator. - 7/30/10

  I made this to go with vegetarian refried beans in a burrito (I substituted vegetable bouillon and brown rice). I also added some spices (pepper, cilantro, etc) to spice it up a bit. Rather easy to make and flavorful. - 7/23/07

  This was very good. It made about 8 cups of rice and the flavor was great, almost as good as the rice at the mexican restaurant! I think I will use chopped up onions next time like someone else suggested. - 7/17/07

  I make this but I chop up fresh onions and brown them with the rice. It gives it much more flavor then the onion powder. Just an FYI - 7/9/07
