hearty spanish rice
Another family favourite, goes great with enchiladas or tacos. I frequently add frozen mixed vegetables (to the rice just before step 3.) If you don't have or don't want the bacon, no worries. Just use a couple Tablespoons of shortening or butter to cook the onion, garlic and rice. Recipe can be easily doubled for a larger gathering.
