This is a popular dish in the SC low country. This is my version which does not require the use of a special rice steamer, which is hard to find outside of the Charleston, SC area. Be sure to use rice which cooks in 20 minutes and not regular rice.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon, cut up into 1 inch pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups tomato juice or 1 1/2 cups v 8 vegetable juice, if you wish

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon pieces until they are crisp, then remove the cooked bacon from the frying pan and reserve. In the bacon drippings fry the onion until limp.

Cook the dish for 20 minutes without disturbing. At the end of this time remove the cover and stir up the contents of the pan. Cover again, remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes. Add the reserved bacon and serve.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the rice and they don't even realize that they're eating vegetables.
