We found this recipe in the Stake Relief Society closet--I tried it and WOW, I think it is a keeper!

Spanish Rice

6 slices bacon
1 medium onion
1 green pepper
28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 cup water
3/4 cup rice, raw long grain
1 Tb brown sugar
1 Tb Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp pepper
Dash Tobasco

In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Spoon the bacon out into a bowl and saute the finely chopped onion and green pepper in the bacon fat for just a few minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients except bacon, cover and cook on low for about 30 minutes, until all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Top with the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese if desired. Brown rice can be used for added nutrition, just add more water and plan on cooking longer.
