Recipe - Killer Spanish Rice

One half pound Bacon; cut into 3/4" pieces
One half pound Hamburger
1 md Onion; chopped
2 cup Water
1 cup Uncooked regular rice
2/3 cup Chopped green bell pepper;
optional
16 ounce Stewed tomatoes
1 teaspoon Chili powder
One half teaspoon Dried oregano leaves
1 One fourth teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper

Fry bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Cook and stir hamburger and
onion in 10inch skillet until hamburger is light brown; drain. Stir in
bacon and remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and
simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. (Add
small amount of water during cooking if necessary.)

NOTES : Since I omit the green pepper, I buy the stewed tomatoes that have
green pepper in them, and maybe even bits of celery.. It's been awhile
since I've made this, but it's always a big hit.
