 __Directions__
-Cook bacon in a large dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove pieces with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
+Cook bacon however you like.  I put it in the oven at 375, on wire mesh cooling rack on a sheet pan to allow it to drain, rotating the pan every 5 minutes or so for about 15 min total (but it will depend on how thick the bacon is).
-Add onion, red bell pepper, and serrano, and cook until onion is soft and starting to take on some color, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and few cracks of black pepper. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice and cook until most of the grains turn chalky white, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cover the pot and cook until the rice is completely cooked, stirring after 10 minutes or so, 15 to 20 minutes total. Garnish with sliced green scallions and the cooked bacon.
