INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍲 1 cup chicken broth
    • 🍅 1 cup tomato sauce
    • 6 slices bacon
    • 🍚 1 cup uncooked white rice
    • ½ teaspoon chili powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper
    • 1 (10 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained (Optional)
    • 🌽 1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained (Optional)

STEPS

1

Bring chicken broth and tomato sauce to a boil in a small saucepan, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and maintain a simmer while preparing the remaining ingredients.

2

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Chop bacon.

3

Cook and stir onion in reserved bacon grease over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice; cook and stir until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

4

Pour boiling chicken broth and tomato sauce into rice mixture; add diced tomatoes, green peppers, and chopped bacon. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.

5

Cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 30 to 40 minutes.

6

Stir black olives and corn into rice mixture before serving.
