This savory Spanish-style rice dish is a delightful combination of crispy bacon, vibrant vegetables, and flavorful rice, perfect for any meal.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Cooking the bacon until crispy ensures a delightful crunch in the final dish.
Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper in the bacon fat until softened.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the vegetables while achieving a nice caramelization.
Mix in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Ensure the rice is evenly coated with the tomato mixture for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
Baking allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Crumble the crispy bacon over the top before serving.
Adding the bacon at the end retains its crispiness for a delightful texture.
