Yes I make mine non spicy because of kids and friends. I usually put some chile (salsa) on
my food anyway.


Your rice sounds yummy!


Yum! Yum! Yum! I especially like the idea of using chicken broth.


Looks good


This rice looks really good, Trisha! For my smaller family, I would halve the recipe, finely dice the onion and pepper, and use canned chicken broth instead of the water and boullion cube...but I always brown my rice as you do!


Great recipe! I think I may make this tonight as a side dish to baked chicken...thanks!
High "5"!


This rice is really good trust me ive eaten it and made it the same way for years.
