I thought this was a very goog recipe,I used 1 bunch of red swiss chard & I also chopped the steams very finely ,my husband said it could have used another bunch w/ the rice ratio and alittle more salt. I did add a few drops of velentina hot sauce which added the right amount heat. I've been looking for another way to add a different green vegtable to my menu, and this was perfect. Whats not to love about bacon, garlic , rice & greens in one pot? I will make this again.

This is seriously delicious. I made this for a potluck, but when I tasted it I just wanted to keep eating the whole potful. Chard was not my go-to vegetable, but now I buy it more often.
