Description

Ingredients

• 2 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 lb lean ground beef (or turkey would be great!)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 14oz can diced tomatoes with liquid
• 1½ cups water
• 2 cups instant rice
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 3-4 tablespoons sliced green onions

Directions

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to a bowl lined with paper towel (to absorb the grease). Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel if necessary.
• To the skillet, add the beef. Cook, stirring often, until browned. Add the salt and stir.
• Add the tomatoes with liquid, water and rice and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover skillet with lid or with a piece of foil, and reduce heat to medium low. Let cook for 4-5 minutes until rice is tender.
• Uncover and stir in barbecue sauce, cheese, onions and reserved bacon. Adjust seasonings, adding more salt or barbecue sauce if desired.
