8 slices bacon, diced
1/4 lb extra lean ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons celery, chopped

Steps:

In large saucepan, saute bacon over medium heat until slightly crisp (about 10 minutes). Remove bacon from pan, place on paper towels. Drain off fat.
Add to the saucepan, ground beef; saute over medium heat, breaking beef up into small pieces. Stir in onion, bell peppers, celery and garlic, sauteing until beef is no longer pink (3-5 minutes). Stir in cumin, salt, oregano, black and cayenne peppers; cook 1 minute.
Stir in rice; cook 2 minutes. Stir in broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat, simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed (25-30 minutes), stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley and bacon. Serve immediately.
