Mom's Italian Spanish Rice

Mom's Italian Spanish Rice was and still is one of my favorite meals


This was an inexpensive meal using rice in a wine-flavored tomato sauce.


The additions she would use made a whole other meal every time she served it.


There were times she added cooked ground meats, leftover meats, seafood, and sometimes assorted vegetables were added.


Mom got very creative back in the 1960s when money was tight and we were on a budget with leftovers.


We just love rice recipes and mom and grandma made it several ways broccoli and rice, baked rice balls made and my grandma's homemade rice pudding are all family favorites.


This basic rice recipe is delicious no matter what you end up putting in it and it's so fast taking just around 35 minutes to your tables!
