Tomato And Bacon Rice Quick And French Inspired

---

This recipe is one i concocted a few nights ago after several days of longing for a rice dish my french grandmother used to make. i don't remember what it was called or exactly how she made it, but this tastes almost like i remember. it's very simple and quick, especially using cooked rice. i do not add any salt or spice to this, as i don't remember her adding that to it, and the bacon adds more than enough flavor. i used leftover white rice, but brown rice would be really good.
