Recipe - Baked Frankfurters And Rice

2 One fourth cup Rice; uncooked
1 teaspoon Salt
1 qt Boiling water
2 One fourth pound Frankfurters; cut in1/2"
slices
58 ounce Canned tomatoes; 2 (29oz)
cans
One fourth cup Sweet pepper flakes
One half cup Instant minced onion
1 pound Processed cheddar cheese;
shredded
2 teaspoon Salt

Preheat oven to 350ø F. (moderate). Line four 8x8inch baking pans with
heatresistant freezer wrap. Allow enough extra wrap to fold over top. Use
one pan for each six servings or onefourth of the recipe. Do not line pans
for food to be served without freezing. Place rice in a large baking pan.
Add salt and water. Stir. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and
let stand for 5 minutes. Combine cooked rice with remaining ingredients.
Pour onefourth of the mixture into each 8x8inch baking pan. Pack food
tightly to avoid air pockets.

TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING: Preheat oven to 400ø F. (hot). Bake 45 minutes
or until pepper flakes and onion are tender.

TO FREEZE: Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. Complete wrapping by
pulling paper up over top of food. Put edges of wrap together and fold
several times so paper lies directly on top of food. Fold ends of freezer
wrap over the top and seal with freezer tape. Label with name of food,
date of freezing, and last date the food should be used for best eating
quality (about 6 months). Freeze for 10 to 12 hours before removing
packages from the pans.

TO HEAT FROZEN FOOD: Preheat oven to 400ø F. (hot). Remove freezer wrap.
Place food in baking pan. Bake 1 One fourth hours or until center is hot.
