    Leftover hot dogs - we chop them, add to a box of cornbread mix with a big handful of cheddar. Bake them in a muffin tin and serve with tons of mustard!

      @@lorrainebarnes4633 make the cornbread mixture just like it says on the box (1 egg, 1/3 cup milk) and you can either chop up the hit dogs real small and mix in bits into the batter with the cheese, OR mix the batter and cheese, pour into a muffin tin, and them put one larger piece of hit dog into each muffin, making it more like a hot dog. If you do that you can use hot dog wienies!

    When I was little my Nuna would make us “weenies, noodles, and tomato sauce” and it was so so good! Exactly what it sounds like, think like chicken noodle soup but tomato based with weenies instead..she used egg noodles…now I wish I had watched her as she passed 16 years ago and I’ve never been able to make it as good as she did!

    You could cut up the hot dogs, brown them up & add to sour kraut. Or you could do beans and wienies (baked beans with the hot dogs cut up. Probably everyone has heard of these, but those are the ones that came to mind. Honestly, we would've probably just eaten them as chili dogs for lunch the next day. The foot longs are fun!
