I'm pretty sure Granny also added a bit of sugar to her red rice. Can anyone confirm this?
Oh-and she used instant rice~!
Oooh can we post more of these??

1/3 cup dry white wine

Cook Spanish Rice-a-Roni, then in a 2 ½ casserole combine rice with langostinos, 1 can mushrooms, 1/3 cup dry white wine. Bake 20 minutes at 350°.
This looks like my modified version of the original recipe I have from Granny, through Jean. I modifed to added the extra 2 pieces of bacon because, well, it's bacon. :-)
And Granny did indeed use instant rice, which I never seemed to have, so I used regular rice and added the 20 minutes of simmering to the recipe. If you use Minute Rice, you don't need the 20 minutes. Yummmmm!
I have a couple of other recipes from Granny, including fried chicken, and short ribs. I'll dig 'em out and post 'em.
