Bacon, Rice and Vermicelli Pilaf

Bacon, Rice and Vermicelli Pilaf
  • 5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1/3 cup broken pieces (about 2 inches) vermicelli pasta
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green or red bell pepper
  • 2 1/3 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble. Drain bacon drippings from pan; wipe out with paper towels.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in rice and vermicelli; cook until they turn a golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in chopped onions and bell pepper. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften, 2 or 3 minutes. Add Swanson(R) Chicken Broth, garlic, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer on low heat until liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with cooked crumbled bacon.
