I am looking to make a spanish rice for a taco themed goodie day at work. I'd probably want to double this recipe. How much more do you think it would need to cook? I will only have 3 hours at work to let it cook before serving, should I cook it the night before and reheat?
Kalyn says
Shayna I would click through and ask the blogger who posted the recipe. That would be the best information.
