Spanish rice with meat

6 slices bacon , chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground beef
5 cups can diced tomatoes, heated
1 cup uncooked rice
1 tea salt
1 tea Worcestershire sauce
1 tea paprika

Fry bacon, slowly pour off fat. Add ground beef, onion and garlic. Cook until meat is no longer pink. add spices, heated tomatoes and rice. Cover and cook in a 400 degree oven for an hour.

My paper said 5 cups tomatoes heated and it says nothing about being covered. But it is so old of a recipe that I think it was diced can tomatoes and I would think for the rice to cook it would have to be covered. When I go to make it I will leave it covered for about 30 minutes and then remove the cover for the last 1/2 hour.
