Instant Pot Spanish Rice
This is the easiest Instant Pot Spanish Rice recipe that you'll make. Your family will totally love it!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet onion chopped
- 7 slices thick cut bacon cut into 1" pieces
- 1 cup organic chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 8 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cups long grain rice washed thoroughly
Instructions
- Press Sauté button on your Instant Pot, and set the time for about 15 minutes. Once heated, add your bacon and cook until bacon is at a nice crispy stage. Remove bacon and set to the side.
- Add in diced onion and stir. Cook until softened and slightly translucent. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release the browned bacon bits.
- Add in your rice, and stir well.
- Add in seasonings, and give it stir well to distribute the flavorings. Press the Cancel button on your Instant Pot.
- Then add in your tomato sauce, and lightly stir.
- Finally, add in your chicken broth and water. Stir the mixture well so the liquids are combined thoroughly.
- Cover with lid, lock in place, and close vent. Press the Rice button and cook for 5 minutes. Once done, allow to NPR for 7 minutes. If you do it longer than 5 minutes, then you might have mushy rice, and NOBODY wants that.
- Add bacon to rice and give it a nice stir. Enjoy!

Notes
- I love eating this topped with sour cream and shredded cheese on top! You can side it with refried beans, avocado, fresh limes, and so much more.
- I use a 1:1 ratio of water and chicken broth; however, you can use 2 cups of either liquid for your choice.
