Chef's Note & Story
I have cooked this Spanish Rice/Bacon Recipe for over 35 years and it still gets raves! Great side served with Tacos, Enchilada's, or in a taco salad, or Burrito. One time just tried adding the Bacon and gave the dish a great smoky & slightly sweet taste. People are surprised to know the special ingredient is the smoked Applewood Bacon.Most people don't expect Bacon in Spanish Rice!!!
This Spanish rice recipe also goes well with beef, pork or chicken.
I hope you could also share a picture or the recipe:-)
