                     Here is a fast, flavorful, simple way to dress up plain old hot dogs,  writes Roslyn Beal of Bremen, Georgia. Her hearty, economical mainstay comes in at only 43 cents per serving. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 bacon strips, diced  |  
                                                1/2 cup chopped onion  |  
                                                1/3 cup chopped green pepper  |  
                                                1/3 cup chopped celery  |  
                                                2 garlic cloves, minced  |  
                                                1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice  |  
                                                3/4 cup ketchup  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon chili powder  |  
                                                1 package (1 pound) hot dogs, cut into bite-size pieces  |  
                                                5 cups hot cooked rice  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towels; set aside. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings. Saute onion, green pepper, celery and garlic in drippings until tender. Add pineapple juice, ketchup, salt and chili powder; mix well. Bring to a boil. Add hot dogs; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-8 minutes or until heated through. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with bacon.
