Another yummy one! It’s under sides but we made a meal of it!
Hoppin’ Jane
- 4 slices of bacon, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 c onion, chopped
- 1/4 c celery, chopped
- 1/4 c red pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 16 ounce can black-eyes peas, drained
- 1 1/4 c instant rice, uncooked
- 1 c water
- 1 c chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to drain on paper towels; reserving 2 teaspoons drippings in skillet. Add onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic to drippings and saute 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes or until rice is tender. Garnish with crumbled bacon. Serves 4.
