Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large skillet, cook rice and onion in bacon grease (or olive oil) over medium heat for about five minutes, until rice is golden brown (be careful not to burn).
  2. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat until boiling.
  3. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Do not stir!
  4. Remove cover, increase heat slightly and simmer until all liquids are absorbed. If you like your rice a bit dry (restaurant style), continue to simmer a few minutes longer to allow more moisture to evaporate.
