This dish has it all. It gets color from the bell peppers, crunch from the pecans, sweetness from the raisins and saltiness from the bacon. Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups water |
1 (8 ounce) package zatarain's® dirty rice mix, original |
2 tablespoons butter, divided |

1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon |
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions |
