Yield: 6 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| ½ pounds | Bacon; cut into 3/4\" pieces |
| ½ pounds | Hamburger |
| 1 medium | Onion; chopped |
| 2 cups | Water |
| 1 cup | Uncooked regular rice |
| ⅔ cup | Chopped green bell pepper; optional |
| 16 ounces | Stewed tomatoes |
| 1 teaspoon | Chili powder |
| ½ teaspoon | Dried oregano leaves |
| 1¼ teaspoon | Salt |
| ⅛ teaspoon | Pepper |
Fry bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Cook and stir hamburger and onion in 10-inch skillet until hamburger is light brown; drain. Stir in bacon and remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. (Add small amount of water during cooking if necessary.) NOTES : Since I omit the green pepper, I buy the stewed tomatoes that have green pepper in them, and maybe even bits of celery.. It's been awhile since I've made this, but it's always a big hit.
