This was so good! Slightly spicy, full of flavor. Would have never thought of putting bacon and rice together, but it was a fabulous side dish for dinner.

I liked the addition of bacon. For me it was more like a Mexican rice, rather than Spanish.It must have been the cumin and chili. Tasty dish and no leftovers for us!
