Crockpot Spanish Rice
Crockpot Spanish Rice is an amazing side dish. I love how easy this recipe is to prepare! It has a great flavor profile and by preparing in the slow cooker you can eliminate some of the prep time out of making the sides right before you serve dinner. We like to serve this with Mexican Fried Ice-cream for dessert!
Simply brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain off fat. Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, except cheese. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. Minutes before cooking time is done, sprinkle cheese on top. Trust me you will be glad you did! You can even serve with a little sour cream on top.
This is a delicious recipe that is perfect for taco night or Cinco de Mayo. My entire family loves the flavor of this slow cooker Spanish rice. I love that I can have a side dish ready and don’t have to spend time getting it together right before serving.
I hope your family enjoys this Crockpot Spanish Rice as much as mine does. It is sure to be a family favorite once you give it a try. It is family favorite of my sons, and he is always asking for it as a side dish recipe on Taco Tuesday.
