HOT FRANK AND RICE SALAD
Yields 6
3/4 cup regular rice
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
2 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1 lb. frankfurters, cut into 1-in. pieces (8-10)
4 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained and crumbled
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup sliced pitted ripe olives
1/4 cup sliced green onion with tops
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
In a saucepan prepare rice according to pkg. directions, except substitute the 1-1/2 cups chicken broth for the water and omit the salt.  In a small saucepan melt butter or margarine; blend in flour, mustard, sugar and pepper.  Add the 1 cup chicken broth all at once; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Stir into rice with franks, bacon, celery, olives, onion and pickle relish.  Turn into a 2-qt. casserole.  Bake, uncovered, at 375 until mixture is heated through, about 30 minutes.  Garnish with more bacon and sliced pitted ripe olives if desired.
