- Place bacon in a pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Transfer rice mixture to a 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until liquid has evaporated and rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
