Spanish Rice Casserole


Spanish Rice Casserole at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
My Mother made the best Spanish Rice and growing up it was one of my favorites. When I went out on my own and married I began to make my Mothers Spanish Rice and I just kept adding to it, so today it has become Spanish Rice Casserole. I still love this casserole it is so full of flavor and it freezes for up to 3 months. This casserole is still one of my favorites and sure hope that you enjoy it.

  20. All your recipes are winners in my family! Thanks for this delicious blast from the past. Used to make this recipe in the mid seventies, from one of our young military wives meetings. I had forgotten about it until I saw your post, then all the lovely memories came flooding back. Thank you for that, dear Miz Helen.
