Baked Frankfurters And Rice

Faith is a gift of God, not in the sense that it is offered by God for man to choose, but that it is in actual fact bestowed on man, breathed and infused into him. Nor is it a gift in the sense that God bestows only the potential to believe, but then awaits assent- the act of believing- from man’s choice; rather, it is a gift in the sense that He who works both willing and acting and, indeed works all things in all people produces in man both the will to believe and the belief itself.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350Ã¸ F. (moderate). Line four 8x8-inch baking pans
with heat-resistant freezer wrap.  Allow enough extra wrap to fold
over top. Use one pan for each six servings or one-fourth 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 one-fourth of  the mixture
into each 8x8-inch baking pan. Pack food tightly to avoid  air pockets.
TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING:  Preheat oven to 400Ã¸ 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 400Ã¸ F. (hot).  Remove freezer  wrap. Place food in baking
pan.  Bake 1 1/4 hours or until center is  hot. Posted to MC-Recipe
