This is a great recipe because you can add and subtract to it. Personally, I ommittd a little of the garlic and added some chopped tomatoes in. My whole family loved it.

This didn't turn out very well for me. I might try it again with some tomatoes though,that would make it seem more like Mexican rice.

It doesn't take much to burn the rice, burnt rice tastes... bad. Just bad. So if it tastes bad, that's probably what happened. The rice should be a light to medium yellow (at most) before you add the broth/water.
