Notes:

Bacon is optional - since it has become relatively expensive, I usually don't use it now.
Ground beef - we prefer 80/20.
Frozen green peppers work well.
Canned tomatoes - there are actually only about 3 - 3-1/2 cups of tomatoes in a quart jar.
Rice - I usually use "regular" or "basanti" white rice.
Sugar - I usually "sugar" my serving with additional sugar - I like my tomato things like chili and spaghetti sauce sweeter than most people.
