Bacon and Rice Creole

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
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)
 
   
Preparation:  
   
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.
