For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to sauté the vegetables. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots or celery for extra texture and flavor. Long-grain rice works best in this recipe, but you can use medium-grain if preferred. Adjust cooking time as needed. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme.
