2. Cook Bacon and Onions:

   • In a skillet, fry the bacon with diced onions over medium heat until the bacon turns crispy and the onions become tender. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

3. Drain Excess Fat:

   • Once the bacon is crispy and the onions are tender, carefully drain off excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons behind.

4. Add Tomatoes and Seasonings:

   • To the skillet, add the can of diced tomatoes along with the salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Simmer with Franks:

   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add the franks to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the franks to simmer in the flavorful mixture for about 15 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and infused with the delicious flavors of the bacon, onions, and tomatoes.

6. Serve:

   • Once the franks are cooked through and tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Louisiana Franks hot with your choice of sides. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice and salad for a complete meal. Don’t forget to save room for dessert!
