Here is my mother's spanish rice recipe.

Spanish Rice

4 slices bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/8 cup chopped green pepper
1 10 1/2 or 11 oz can condensed tomato soup
1/4 cup rice
1/4 cup water
2 whole cloves (of garlic? it doesn't say)
1 bay leaf (small)
1/4 tsp salt

Cut bacon in small pieces, fry until crisp in heavy skillet, remove.

Cook onion and green pepper in bacon fat until golden.  
Add remaining ingredietns; cover

tightly and cook 45 minutes.  Stir occasionally.   
Remove cloves (actual cloves, I guess) and bay leaf; 
sprinkle crisp bacon over top.  Makes 2-3 servings.

Here is a similar recipe from the Internet:

6 slices of bacon
1 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chooped green pepper
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup raw regular long grain rice
1 small bay leaf
1/4 tsp salt

In a saucepan, cook bacon until crisp; remove and crumble.  
Set aside.  Pour off all but

3 to 4 tbsps of the drippings.  
Cook onion and green pepper in drippings until tender.

Add tomato soup, water, rice, bay leaf, and salt.  
Bring to a boil; dover and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, 
until rice is tender.   Stir occasionally.  
Remove bay leaf and stir in bacon.   

Makes about 4 to 6 side dish servings.
