Step 1
In a large skillet fry
Wright® Brand Smoked Bacon (4 oz)

Step 2
Using the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat. Add the sliced
Mushrooms (8 oz)
and cook until starting to brown and moisture has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 3
In same skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat and

Stir in

and continue to sauté and stir until rice is coated, about 1 minute. Add

Step 5
Adjust temperature to medium and add 1/2 cup of
Chicken Broth (3 1/2 cups)
stirring to combine and allowing broth to absorb. Continue adding broth by the 1/2 cup, allowing each portion to be mostly absorbed before adding more, stirring often.

When down to the last cup of broth, test for texture and add more broth if desired, saving 1/4 cup for finishing.
