Red Rice with Ham
http://southernfood.about.com/od/ricecasserolerecipes/r/bln15.htm

Bake this recipe for red rice in a casserole dish.
INGREDIENTS:
· 6 strips lean bacon
· 1/2 cup chopped onion
· 4 green onions, minced, with green tops
· 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
· 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
· 1 cup minced cooked ham
· Salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce, to taste
PREPARATION:
Heat a heavy skillet; add the bacon strips and cook them until crisp. Remove the bacon strips and drain on paper towels.
Cook the onion and green onions in the remaining bacon fat until tender. Crumble the bacon and return to the skillet, along with the tomatoes, rice, ham, salt, pepper and hot sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a buttered 1-1/2 quart casserole. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

--Variations done to recipe: I didn't get the green onions so I doubled the amount of white onions.

--Observation: Definitely need to spray the casserole dish next time. Possibly add more ham and bacon but I like both.

--Rating: 3.5/4 out of 5. I would definitely consider making it again. I think it would make a good filling for stuffed peppers. I might try it with adding red beans to it as well. This reminds me a lot of a dish my Nana once made. I think Boss would like it a lot.
