It's the teaspoon of salt that puts it over the top for me.

Mmmmmm! I love Spanish rice and this sounds really good! I hadn't thought of adding bacon. I'm going to make some today, I'm in the mood! Thanks!

To make it foolproof, after tanning the rice add the entire contents to an induction rice cooker.
I know...it's not a staple in Mexico, but sure makes life easier. However, if you follow the mailand cooking customs, the rice is browned and cooked
in a clay dutch oven.

Thanks Slim, we usually do beans in the winter in the office (dried beans from the back garden)...but the guys really love to put a lot of peppers
from the garden in it. I think this year I'll try your recipe (I'm getting tired of shelling the beans and I can still use the peppers). Your lady
is fortunate that you can cook too! Keep up the good works.
