METHOD:  In a large skillet sauté in butter/margarine diced bell pepper and diced onions until translucent.  Remove from pan and put in separate bowl.  Next, fry the bacon slices in same pan until crispy.    Remove from pan and drain on paper toweling.  When cooled, crumble bacon into bits.  Place uncooked long grain white rice with water into pan, bring to boil, then cover with large lid and let simmer until rice is done.  Take can of stewed tomatoes and break apart tomatoes in a bowl with a spoon.  Add seasonings, worcestershire sauce, bown sugar and tomato paste (if desire a stronger tomato flavor to the dish) into bowl of tomatoes and mix.  When rice is nearly done,  add the tomatoes and ingredients to the rice, mix, cover and let simmer long enough for the rice to absorb sauce.  Add bacon bits to the mixture right before serving.  6-8 servings.

*MDM likes this dish without too much additional tomato paste so that the other flavors are not overwhelmed by the tomato. Also, you may want to let everyone flavor their helping with additional salt & pepper, as desired.
