Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 cups water
- 2 cubes beef bouillon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups medium grain rice
Instructions
- Start by cutting the bacon into 1 inch long pieces. Also, peel the onion and cube it into about ½-inch pieces. In a large pan cook your bacon on high heat for 8 minutes. Stir the bacon around 3-4 times to avoid burning. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes with the bacon.
- Add the water and stir the water while scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the salt. Crumble the bouillon cubes and add them in. Stir and wait for the water to boil. Lower your heat to medium-high, add your rice, stir, and cook covered for 8 minutes or until most of the water evaporates.
- Stir the rice and bring all the rice to the middle of the pan to form a dome and cover the rice. Lower your heat to medium, and finish cooking for 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Fat- The bacon will release some fat, which we need to cook the rice. But if you feel like it's too much, you can remove some of it.
- Vegetables- You can add more vegetables if you like. My favorites are mushrooms, carrots, and peas.
- Bouillion in cubes- If you can't find beef bouillon cubes you can substitute for 1 ½ teaspoon of the powdered king for each cube.
