Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the center of the oven.

  2. Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon slices to a plate lined paper towels to drain, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet. Crumble the bacon once cooled.

  3. Crumble sausage into the reserved bacon fat, cook and stir until the sausage is completely browned and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain sausage and set aside in a bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat.

  4. Heat olive oil in the skillet. Cook and stir onion, bell pepper, oregano, and sage in the hot oil until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

  5. Combine tomato sauce, rice, water, bacon, sausage, and the onion mixture in a baking dish with a lid, season with salt and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Cover dish with aluminum foil and the lid.

  6. Bake in preheated oven until the rice is tender, about 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
