SPANISH RICE SOUTHERN STYLE 
2 c. cooked rice
1 med. onion, chopped
1/3 c. chopped green pepper
4-5 strips bacon, microwave crisp
2-3 cans tomato sauce (more if needed, rice should not be dry)
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese

Saute onions and peppers until tender. Add all other ingredients except cheese. Simmer on top of stove until flavors are blended, about 30 minutes. Add more sauce if needed and simmer another 10 minutes. Browned hamburger can also be used in place of half the bacon. Sprinkle cheese on top when serving.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
