Chili Rice and Franks

Heat butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add chopped onion and diced green bell pepper to the skillet, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the canned tomatoes, salt, sugar, chili powder, and garlic powder, combining well.

Simmer the tomato mixture uncovered for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Slice the frankfurters into 1/4-inch rounds and add them to the skillet.

Stir in the hot cooked rice until evenly combined with the chili mixture.

Continue heating the dish over medium heat for 5 minutes until the frankfurters are warmed through and the rice is heated evenly.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or chili powder if desired, then serve hot.
