3 strips bacon, cut into thin crossgrain strips
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 14 oz. can tomato sauce
3 1/2 c. water
1 1/4 c. long grain rice
1 tsp. beef bouillon mix
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika (optional)
6 c. shredded coleslaw mix



Saute bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat till almost done, add ground beef & cook till it begins to brown, add onions & garlic, cook till softened. Drain excess fat.

Stir in tomato sauce, water, rice, beef bouillon mix, salt, pepper, cayenne and paprika. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20-25 min. until rice is tender and liquid is thickened.

Sprinkle half of the coleslaw mix over the bottom of a greased 9" x 13" baking dish. Spoon 1/2 of the beef mixture evenly over coleslaw. Repeat for next layer.

Bake. covered at 350 F for 1 hour or until bubbly & heated through. Serve with sour cream.

This can also be made in a crockpot. You'll have to guess at the cooking times depending on the pot.
