Red Rice

2 med onions, chopped
2 c. cooked rice
1 - 16 oz. can stewed tomatoes

In a large skillet fry bacon crisp and remove to paper towel, save drippings in skillet. Saute peppers and onions in skillet. Add rice, tomatoes and tomato sauce, hot sauce, and crumbled bacon, shrimp/sausage and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, pour red rice mixture into greased 2 qt. baking dish, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake 30 minutes. Do not cover.
