Another recipe from my southern roots in Savannah (Georgia, of course!). My disclaimer: if you object to a little bit of bacon drippings, you will NOT like the recipe. In the south old style cooking with bacon drippings is as common as sweet tea! My Nana made this every summer when we visited. All of the Savannah relatives made it and just called it red rice. Usually served as a side to shrimp or crab cakes, butter beans, fresh sliced home grown tomatoes and cucumbers, with sour cream pound cake and fresh churned Georgia peach ice cream for dessert. Good times!
