Heat your bacon grease or oil in a skillet until hot. Add your rice and brown, stirring frequently.

When the rice is about ¼ of the way toasted, add in your peppers and onions.

Cook until the veggies are soft and the rice is toasty brown.

Next add to the skillet your tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, hot water, and stewed tomatoes. Cover and cook until rice is tender. Check near the end of the cooking time to see if you need to add a bit more water.
