Dobela Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have several packages of hot dogs in the freezer left over from a church event we hosted. We are really trying to go 2 more weeks without buying any groceries. I don't have any buns and have no time to bake any. I don't have any loaf bread because I haven't had time to bake any. I don't have any sauerkraut. I don't want to make a hot dog/corn dog casserole as dh doesn't like it. He also doesn't like mac and cheese so adding them to that is not an option either. Any ideas? Something tasty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsbaby Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 My mom used to slice them length-wise (still keeping them intact though), lay them flat (inside of hot dog up), top with mashed potatoes and cheese, and broil a few minutes. We thought this was great when we were little:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Can you make baked beans and add them? I think it's called beans-n-franks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought this was great when we were little:) Ooh, that sounds good! I will file tha away for future ideas since we have so many to eat. Unfortunately I served the last of the potatoes last night LOL. Can you make baked beans and add them? I think it's called beans-n-franks. Hmm, I think I need to go find a recipe for that. I have lots of beans canned and frozen... Thanks for the ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Potatoes? You could chop up some hot dogs and make hash, with or without egg on top. Ditto for cabbage, with or without potato added, perhaps with a creamy mustard sauce. Biscuits would be nice with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Mix up a batch of bread dough and roll it out in about 8 inches circles and make hot dog wraps. Bake them in the oven. You can add some cheese slices inside, too. Yum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ok, you ready? I almost died when my 100% Italian mother in law put this in front of me, but I have to admit, it's a family favorite. Total comfort food. Hotdog Stew saute an onion and some garlic (or not if you hate them) in a big stock pot peel some carrots and cut into big chunks, and the same with potatoes. Add some celery in if you like. Throw it all in the pot. Put some water (or broth) in, enough to just cover the veggies, and add in a can of tomatoes-any kind. Stewed, diced, puree, crushed, whatever you have. When the carrots and potatoes are half done, cut up the hotdogs into bitesized pieces and add them into the pot. Give it a good stir, get it up to a simmer and then add in a bag of frozen peas (or not). It's done when the potatoes are done and the broth is thick and orangey. We serve it bread (which I get get yammered on if we don't have it) because you need the bread to sop up the sauce. Please don't think less of me....:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2read Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Pigs in a blanket if you have canned dough in the fridge or some Jiffy or Bisquick to make dough. At a potluck last month someone had chopped up hot dogs in BBQ sauce. I tasted it and it was good. BBQ is pretty easy to make if you have ketchup on hand.

joannqn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, this is sort of mac & cheese but maybe different enough that your hubby won't mind. And I'm aware it isn't healthy. We call it Chili-Mac-a-Dog. Mac and cheese, cooked to box's specification. Add can of chili Add cut up hot dogs. We plan on making Chili-Mac-a Burger, too. Mac and cheese, cooked to box's specification. Add can of chili. Serve over open face burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
