6 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup white rice
½ onion, chopped
1 (19 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 cup water
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

Place bacon in a microwave-safe 2-quart baking dish. Microwave until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate.
Place rice and onion in the baking dish; microwave until slightly tender, about 4 minutes. Add the cooked bacon, tomatoes, water, green pepper, ketchup, salt, chili powder, and pepper.
