I made this for ZWT 5's trip to Spain and we loved it. I had a Serrano chili pepper and added that, chopped and seeded to the onion and bacon mixture and I also used brown rice instead of white. The added heat from the pepper really stood up to the extra texture from the brown rice and the resulting dish was exceptional. Baking the rice also was a nice, simple final step and made prep fast. Thanks for posting Scarlett!

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
