Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp.
  2. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, brown the ground beef with chopped onion.
  4. Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for flavor.
  5. Add the condensed mushroom soup, water, garlic powder, frozen broccoli, and diced bell peppers to the skillet.
  6. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, add the dry rice, and stir gently to distribute evenly.
  8. Cover the skillet tightly and remove from heat.
  9. Let the skillet stand undisturbed for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the rice to cook in the residual heat.
  10. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the reserved crispy bacon pieces before serving.
