Maya Angelou -- Her Childhood Favorite, Grandmother'S Red Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 slices bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chopped tomatoes (reserve the juice)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
pepper
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup tomato juice and water

Preparation

Fry the bacon and then chop the cooked bacon, leaving about 1 TBS of bacon grease in the pan (cool the remaining grease for any use later).
Cook the chopped onion and peppers a few minutes. Then add everything else (having drained the tomato juice from the can and topped off with water to make 1 cup of liquid).
Bring to a boil and cook 3-4 minutes. Stir.
Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook another 15 minutes or so.
