Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 link (4" long x 1-1/8" dia)s smoked sausage links, sliced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (such as Hunt's®)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste (such as Hunt's®)
1 cup water
2 cups uncooked parboiled (converted) rice
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Overall, I enjoyed this Gullah Red Rice. It was easy to make and had a nice flavor. I'll probably make it again sometime.

This recipe was too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout.

This dish was a disappointment. The rice was bland and the sauce was too thin. I won't be making it again.

I'm not a big fan of red rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of tomatoes, peppers, and spices made it really delicious.

The rice was a bit mushy for my liking, but the overall flavor was good. I'll try cooking it for less time next time.

This red rice was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still delicious. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This Gullah Red Rice was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and complex, with a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The rice itself was cooked to perfection, with a lovely chewy texture.
