Hotdog Casserole
Hotdog Casserole (Serves 3-4)
4 bun length hotdogs
2 hotdog buns
1/4 C. chopped onion
10 oz. ban hotdog chili sauce (I prefer no beans)
1 1/2 T. ketchup
1 T. yellow mustard
3 good handfuls of seasoned French fries
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
Lightly spray a 9×5″ baking dish with cooking spray. Tear apart the hotdog buns into 1″ pieces and place in the bottom of the dish. Place in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees (This will toast up the buns a little). Remove from oven when it has preheated. Cut the hotdogs in bite size pieces and place on top of the buns. Mix together the chili sauce, onions, ketchup and mustard and pour over the hotdogs, spreading the mixture around. In a skillet with 1 T. vegetable oil heated over medium high heat, fry the French fries, tossing them around in the pan, just to get a little color and crunch to them, about 5 minutes. Remove the French fries and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the chili, top the cheese with a layer of the French fries and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven and top the French fries with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for 5-6 minutes or until cheese has melted. I served mine with coleslaw.
