Comment préparer 1949 Spanish Rice

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook 1 cup of long-grain rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside in a large bowl.
While rice cooks, grease a 4-quart casserole dish and set aside.
Fry 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, cool slightly, and crumble into pieces about the size of your thumbnail. Set aside.
In the bacon grease, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) over medium heat until softened and slightly yellow (about 5-7 minutes).
Add 2 (14.5 ounce) cans of diced tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper to the cooked rice. Stir well to combine.
Pour the hot onion, pepper, and tomato mixture into the rice and bacon mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, slightly browned, and the mixture is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Freezes exceptionally well! Cut into portions and freeze for future meals. Reheat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes on medium.
Enjoy this blast from the past!
