Soak rice and chop up bacon, onion, garlic scapes, beet leaves and dill.
Rinse and drain rice, then cook in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes or a little less. Fry bacon, garlic and onion in a pan and add this mixture to the cooked rice, along with the dill. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Layer rice in the bottom of a dish. Then on top add a layer of the chopped beet leaves and another layer of rice on top. Pour cream over all and cover with a lid.
Bake at 350°F for one hour.
During the last 20 minutes, remove the lid and you may need to add a little more cream, if the dish is looking too dry.
