Finely chop the peppers.

Spray a frying pan with some low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the minced beef, onion and bacon and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until brown. Add the Cajun seasoning and Worcestershire sauce and stir, then add the carrot, mushrooms, peppers and pour in the beef stock. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Add the cooked rice and spring onions to the pan and stir over a medium heat until all the rice is coated and it is warmed through. Taste and add some more Cajun seasoning if you prefer it spicier, then serve.
