Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large, heavy saucepan, saute bacon until lightly browned.
  2. Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat.
  3. Add onion, green pepper and garlic, saute until soft.
  4. Add remaining ingredients except vinegar, sugar and rice. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Stir in vinegar and sugar for last few minutes then serve over rice.
  6. *note: this recipe I've found hinges on the bacon You need good (perhaps cheap) bacony bacon, not extra lean, you want that tasty bacon- I usually up the bacon amount to half a package or more :).
  7. *variations: omit sausage for side dish-also.after all steps, mix with rice and throw in crockpot on warm and rice will soak up juice;.instead of sausage use boneless chicken.
