Grandma Mary's Spanish Rice

This is a recipe that I got from my mother-in-law, Mary Pace, and have been making it ever since we got married...almost 18 years ago!--Elnora




1/2 lb. hotdogs, sliced
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1/4 c. chopped green pepper
1 1/3 c. minute rice (uncooked)
2 c. (1 lb.) diced/stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/8 tsp. cloves
8 oz. tomato sauce
1 c. water

Fry hotdogs until crisp; remove from skillet. Add onion and green peppers to fat (from hotdogs) and cook over medium heat until onion is yellow. Put all ingredients together in 9" X 13" baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until rice is cooked. (Remove the cover for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time.)
