Cook the rice in the chicken stock until done then set aside.
It is better to use Day old rice if you have it.
Saute the bacon, sausage or giblets (or any combination) in a cast iron pot until cooked but not crisp.
Remove the meat and set aside.
In the drippings, add the onion, bell pepper and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the jalapeno and cook for another minute or so.
Do not drain.
Add salt, pepper to taste and Cajun seasoning. (Slap Your Mama is great)
Return the meat to the pot; reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add a small amount of water only if needed to prevent sticking.
Add the cooked rice and green onion, stir, cover and reduce heat to a medium low simmer.

Notes
This dish is the central feature of a meal so you could serve it with a salad and a veggie, but it is also served as a side dish with hot sauce at the table.
