1 pound bacon
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 small onions, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups canned tomatoes
1 cup raw rice (not quick cooking)
Simmer vegetables and spices in a saucepan. At the
same time, fry the bacon. When bacon is done, remove
from pan and crumble into small pieces. Drain off
all but 3 tablespoons of fat, to which add the raw
rice. Let rice brown lightly.
Add the vegetables and bacon; let simmer over very
low heat for 30 minutes.
Check after 20 minutes to see if it is drying out. If so,
add more tomatoes, or some water, or a combination
of both.
