Really good stuff here. That link to the rice helps to Bc I've have been looking for traditional Mexican rice. The wife and I love messing with dump cake ingredients. Strawberry and rhubarb is one of the better fillings combo we've had at the house. W some ice cream on the side of course. Thanks for the walk thru again!

Thanks M&H.

I can give you some more really nice Mexican rice ideas.

Arroz con vegatales de jardin: Same recipe, after cooking Mexican rice add 1/4C each of whole corn and two or three types of your favorite finely chopped vegetables, chiles, bell pepper, carrots, peas, celery or whatever.
The everyday home style version of this is just boxed yellow rice and frozen or canned mixed veggies.

Arroz Negro: After cooking whole frijole negros (black beans), drain and use the liquid to cook your rice in place of the chicken stock. No need for the tomato puree.
You get not only the color but all the flavors too.

Arroz Sofrito: Saute 1C minced onion, 1/2C each minced carrot and celery, you may add/substitute bell pepper or chiles.
Cook same as original recipe posted.

We experiment with our dump cake too.
We sometimes add cinnamon/sugar to the cake mix.
Like you, combining fruits is always fun, like I did with apples/pears, my favorite.
With apple filling I like to drizzle it heavily with honey and then dust with cinnamon, gives an ordinary canned filling a really nice richness.

Thanks Lance, much appreciate the compliment and point.

Awesome CH. I like the sound of sofrito and i have no clue why I haven't been adding honey and cinnamon for a change up on the original apple dump. That has to be real good. Can't wait to try. Thanks!

Looks great as usual! I think you need a permanent slot in the carousel, that way it auto updates your newest cook.
