Rice Pilaf

8 slices of bacon
1 medium onion (chopped)
4 toes garlic (chopped)
2 C regular long-grain rice
20 OZ frozen green peas
2 C water
13 OZ chicken broth
1½ TSP salt
¼ TSP pepper

Temperature:

In a 12" skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp.  Remove the bacon to drain on paper towels and set aside.  Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.  Add the garlic and cook for another two minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir rice, frozen peas, water, chicken broth, salt and pepper into the mixture; heat to boiling.  Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender.  Toss the rice mixture together with the reserved bacon until well mixed and serve.
