SAUSAGE SPANISH RICE WITH BACON



Sausage Spanish Rice With Bacon image

This is a meaty spanish rice with lots of flavor. I never really liked most Spanish rice dishes because they seemed too bland until I ate a version of this one at a family reunion. I tweaked it so that it had lots of taste without the green peppers some people use because I have a son who hates them. If you like them feel free to add them to the dish.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose Spanish rice, not regular long-grain rice. Spanish rice has a shorter grain and a more pronounced flavor.
  • Sausage and bacon add a lot of flavor to this dish, but you can use other meats if you prefer. Ground beef, turkey, or chicken would all be good substitutes.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or a pot with a lid. Just be sure that the pan is large enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • Be careful not to overcook the rice. It should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Serve with your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes, such as tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.

Conclusion:

Sausage Spanish rice with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With its combination of savory sausage, smoky bacon, and flavorful Spanish rice, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
