This recipe was clipped from cardboard packaging of some kind, likely a box of Minute Rice since it’s one of the required ingredients. Date unknown. There are three variations to the main recipe included. I’ve typed it out below along with a scanned copy.
SPANISH RICE PRONTO

1/3 cup diced green pepper
2 cups Minute Rice

Dash pepper
Saute onion, green pepper, and Minute Rice (right from box) in the bacon drippings. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Makes 6 servings.
