Cajun Red Rice

2 cups Rice, cooked
4 strips Bacon (the real good stuff)
1 medium Green pepper, cut thinly
1 medium Red pepper, cut thinly
1 medium Yellow pepper, cut thinly
2 medium Yellow onions, cut thinly
2  16 oz. cans Stewed tomatoes
1 cup Tomato sauce
1 lb. Cooked shrimp
1/2 lb. Italian sausage, crumbled (spicy kind)
2/3 cups Aged parmesan cheese
1/2 bottle Your favorite hot sauce

In a large skillet fry bacon to crispy and remove to a paper towel. Saving the drippings left in the skillet. Sauté all peppers and onions in the same skillet till golden and then remove to large bowl. Add all ingredients except hot sauce, bacon and parmesan cheese to that large bowl and blend gently. This is where we separate the Men from the Boys buy how much hot sauce you add. Once you add the hot sauce, pour this mixture into a greased 3 quart casserole pan. Sprinkle on the top, your cheese and crispy crumpled bacon, put into a 350 degrees preheated oven for 30 minutes. Oh and keep a cold beer handy when taste testing.
