i needed something on the fly to feed alot of people on short notice and this fit perfectly. i did chop my stewed tomatoes coarsly and i added franks red hot, garlic, salt and pepper. i served this with green beans, buttered bread and sliced cucmbers with lemon. i never thought id give a hot dog recipe five stars but this hits alot of high notes- kid friendly, makes alot and isnt expensive to make.

This was a good starter recipe. One of the other reviewers mentioned that it was like jambalaya so I added to it to give it a little more of the jambalaya flavor. I added minced garlic to the vegtetables and I added cayenne, alspice, cumin and a bay leaf and put all the water and tomatos in at once and simmered it until the rice was tender. I found that it needed more than the 1 1/2 cups of water called for. I probably added another cup during cooking to keep it moist. We really enjoyed it and will probably make it again. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a generic jambalaya. I used instant rice that i cooked seperatley and added at the end. I always use diced tomatoes never stewed.

This rates "average" for us, as it was certainly inexpensive and simple to make. However, we really didn't care for the taste. I won't make it again.

It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Very bland. I added garlic and worchestershire like suggested. I dunno...it tasted too tomato-y. We picked all the hot dogs out. lol

My mom handed down this family favorite also. I cook in a different order though. I saute onions, garlic, and green pepper until soft. Add a full package of hot dogs and saute until brown. Then I add the stewed tomatoes and ketchup and cook for 20 minutes. I add pre-cooked rice (1.5 cups) last. Also, I scatter shredded cheddar on top, put the cover on melt, and serve right out of the pot.

It was a good and easy recipe to follow, but needed a bit more spices for my taste. I added some chicken soup mix, salt, pepper and garlic.

this seems to be a very kid friendly, economical, and quick dinner. since we dont have kids i decided to spice it up to suit our tastes. i fried up the hot dogs, veggies, and garlic in bacon grease. i added worcestershire, lemon juice and cajun seasoning w/ the toms. the ketchup flavor was a bit strong for us so i masked it w/ some louisianna hot sauce at the end. even though i changed this quite a bit i am still giving it 4 stars for a unique way to use hot dogs. i would never have thought to use them in something like this. thank you. if i make this again i will leave out the ketchup entirely.
