Spanish Rice

• I found this recipe on allrecipes.com it Serves 8. I didn't think it was going to turn out Becasue I made mine with brown rice and the rice did not cook all the way. Although some really liked it that way. I will try white rice next time. The flavor was really good. I put half of a fresh chili pepper in, it was spicy but good!
