This meaty Spanish rice has lots of flavor. Every time I make this dish, it reminds me of my childhood days when I was in grade school, and the delicious Hamburger Spanish Rice, which was served for lunch. Prep time includes cooking the bacon, hamburger, and vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 pound hamburger
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped (or use a yellow bell pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can whole tomatoes, cut-up (14.5-oz. see *note)
  • 2/3 cup long grain white rice (see *note)

How To Make hamburger spanish rice with bacon

  • Step 1
    In a 12-inch skillet, cook bacon slices until crisp; drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In the same skillet, along with the bacon grease, brown the hamburger and cook the vegetables; then drain off any excess grease in a colander.
  • Step 3
    Return cooked beef and vegetables to the skillet. Then add the remaining ingredients.
  • Step 4
    Crumble the cooked bacon; add to the skillet and stir.
  • Step 5
    Bring ingredients in skillet to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 6
    *Note: You can substitute stewed tomatoes for the regular canned tomatoes. Also, I've substituted a yellow bell pepper for the green bell pepper. Plus, the rice I used when preparing the recipe was Essential Everyday Instant Brown Rice Long Grain.
