6 servings
Servings4
3 cups long grain rice
8 ounces bacon
1 small onion, finely diced
1/4 green bell pepper (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1 can beef French onion soup
2 cups water
1

Slice 8 ounces of bacon and add it to a rice pot to cook until rendered, not too crunchy.

2

Drain the bacon and sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in the bacon fat until the veggies are soft.

3

Add the can of condensed French onion soup to the sautéed veggies and let it simmer to pick up the brown bits from the pot.

4

Add 3 cups of long grain rice directly into the pot without rinsing it.

5

Add the drained bacon and 2 cups of water to the pot with the rice.

6

Use a spoon to check the water-to-rice ratio; the spoon should stand up if the ratio is correct.

7

Cook on medium-high heat (setting 7) until it starts to bubble, then stir and cover.

8

Let it cook for 10 minutes without stirring.

9

After 10 minutes, stir in the shredded cabbage from the bottom up and cover again to cook for another 10 minutes.
