Wow, this is really good. I didn't have any bacon on hand so I cooked the onion in some bacon fat and added real bacon bits. It turned out really good. Now that I have bacon on hand, I'll be making it again tonight. My husband and older kids liked it. The littles are losing out but it leaves more for us! Thanks for posting.

I can't believe I haven't rated this recipe yet! We like it very much. Today I used turkey bacon, diced onion, but I added some onion powder as well. We are having it today with tilapia.

Excellent. Amazing how just a few ingredients can be so tasty. I prefer mixed organic rice (Lumburg) brand. Still was delicious will be making it again. It was just so easy to put together. Everyone loved it.

The family is split on this one; one daughter gave it 5 stars, I gave it 4 and the rest of the family said "it's good" but wouldn't commit to a rating. I quite liked it and it was easy. I think it will make a nice side dish.
