HOT DOG BOATS - 3 INGREDIENTS - FUN FOR KIDS TO MAKE!



Hot Dog Boats - 3 Ingredients - Fun for Kids to Make! image

We made these all the time when I was a kiddo because it's easy and fun for kids to make and super fast. My mom liked it because it was a good use for leftover mashed potatoes (you can also use instant potatoes). I know it sounds like a totally weird recipe, but it is fantastic!

5 hot dogs
1 cup mashed potatoes or 1 cup instant mashed potatoes

  • Fill open end with the potatoes - distribute evenly among the 5 hot dogs.
  • Sprinkle tops evenly with cheese.
  • Microwave for 1 minute or until wieners are hot and cheese is melted.
  • That's it! Enjoy! I like it with mac and cheese as a side item.

Here's what you need: hot dog buns, butter, garlic, fresh parsley, cheddar cheese, chili, hot dogs

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 hot dog buns
¼ cup butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
8 slices cheddar cheese
15 oz chili, with or without beans
8 hot dogs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Leaving them attached, place the 8 hot dog buns in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish. Cut a rectangle in each hot dog bun, making sure to stay 1 centimeter from the edges. Push down on the bread cut-out to compact it tightly into the bottom of each bun, making sure to press down on the bottom edges as well. This will help create a larger space for the fillings and reduce mess.
  • Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and their hollowed insides with the garlic butter. Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns as well as help the sides of the buns firm up so they don't collapse under the weight of the fillings.
  • Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each bun, then spoon a bit of chili inside each one. Slide a hot dog snugly on top of the chili in each bun, then top with more chili.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the chili has started to brown. Top with fresh parsley, then slice the hot dog boats along their connected seams to serve.
  • Enjoy!

MOM'S HOT DOG BOATS



Mom's Hot Dog Boats image

This is an old family recipe....My kids love it. They usually eat 3 to 4 hot dogs each. You could even make this a vegetarian meal by substituting your favorite vegetarian ingredients. You can use any type of hot dogs or sausages that you would like.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup warm milk
¼ cup butter
¾ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package hot dogs
4 processed cheese singles (such as Kraft®), cut in half

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Return to the pot, and mash with the milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, place the hot dogs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then keep warm on low until the potatoes have been mashed.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Cut the hot dogs down the center, leaving the two halves attached (like a hot dog bun). Stuff the hot dogs with mashed potatoes and place into a baking dish. Place half a slice of cheese on top of each hot dog.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and has melted, about 1 minute.
