Party Rice

Mom is only good at inventing recipes on the spot. This rice was like this: ready white rice, shredded smoked chicken, onion, bacon, green beans, carrots and fresh peas.

Sauté the rice mixture, place a layer in the ovenproof dish, intersperse it with grated cheese, another layer of rice and finish with coarsely grated parmesan and fried bacon. Place in the oven to brown (it hadn’t been in the oven yet).
