Nice and simple, easy to make and just throw in the oven. Very much comfort food. We had this with some tortillas with refried beans and cheese, and it made a perfect dinner for a wet and chilly fall evening. I also used some fresh tomato. We didn't have cayenne, which would have given this a nice little bit of heat, and no bacon, but maybe next time.

This was the first recipe I ever made from this cookbook. The rice tasted more like "Spanish Rice" than other recipes I've tried. The recipe is definitely a keeper. I think it may have been the paprika that did the trick. I did not use bacon. Instead I just used some canola oil in which to fry the vegetables. I used fresh, chopped tomatoes (and all its juices) from my garden instead of canned tomatoes

This is a great rice dish to go with refried beans or quesadillas. I have made it before without the bacon - but the onion and the canned tomatoes are essential. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet or casserole that you can use on the stove top, then you can saute what you need to in a skillet and combine with the rest of the ingredients in an oven-proof dish with a lid. But keep in mind that it will take a bit longer to finish cooking that way.
