See all of our freezer cooking OAMC recipesMy husband likes rice with anything. This is actually a different version of Spanish Rice than I usually make because I had different things on hand. First, I had crockpot shredded beef to use up so I threw it in. Because it’s made with basic ingredients that lend themselves well to any recipe, I was able to use it in this dish. Spice it up with chilis and salsa and it’s a taco filling!

I generally make a full bag of rice in my rice cooker so I have an additional 3-5 cups to use for another recipe tomorrow. I cool it and bag it until I’m ready to use it again. Generally 3-5 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer. I never use instant rice any more – I use long grain and cook it when I have time and freeze it to reheat and eat another time. It’s perfect with my freezer Salisbury meatballs or spaghetti sauce with chicken.

This OAMC Spanish Rice should be used within 2-3 months.  To reheat, let in thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then cook at 350 for 20-45 minutes depending on the size of your dish.  Just until heated through and yes, it can be microwaved as well.

OAMC Spanish Rice and Shredded Beef
This is a meal that can be made from the freezer (cook crockpot beef and freeze it) or for the freezer. I pull mine out before the meat goes in - until then it's a great vegetarian dish. I generally get 8 - 1 pd freezer packs with a little extra for that day's dinner. I've added extra liquid because the rice absorbs the sauce. Add black olives for a change as well.
