1/2 pound Bacon, diced and fried

3 tablespoons Olive Oil

1 whole Onion, diced

1 cup diced bell peppers, I use a little of both green and red

2 cups Long Grain Rice

4 cups Chicken Broth

11 1/2 oz can Tomato Juice

11 1/2 oz can V 8 Juice

Preparation

In a medium sized pot heat up the oil. Add in onions, bell peppers and rice. Cook until onions are translucent and rice is a light golden brown. Add in the chicken broth, tomato juice, v8 and bacon. Stir until combined and cover, cooking for about 20 minutes, till the rice is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed. Some liquid will be slightly left on the top, just stir it up.
