Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 cups instant rice
• 1/2-1 cup frozen peas
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 lb bacon, use a good cut so to avoid too much grease
• 1 1/2 ounces chicken noodle soup mix
• 2 eggs

Recipe

• 1 cook the rice with the peas according to package directions. i use a microwave rice cooker, works great. i also put in 1 chicken boullion for flavor.
• 2 while this is cooking chop up the bacon and fry with onion in fry pan. i use kitchen shears to cup up bacon. i like to brown the bacon well, it seems to add extra flavor.
• 3 add the cooked rice, peas, and soup to the pan. original recipe didn't call for it, but i add a bit of water at this stage and 1-2 t butter if getting dry looking. cook for 15 minutes. helps to put lid on skillet i find. it helps to soften the noodles from the soup mix. need to keep an eye on the prevent sticking. add 2 scrambled eggs, cook through. enjoy!
