Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

For the sandwiches:
1 pkg. (8 count) OSCAR MAYER Selects Uncured Angus Bun-Length Beef Frank
8 mini-baguettes or hot dog buns
1/2 cup KRAFT Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce
8 KRAFT Singles
For the slaw:
1 medium cucumber, minced
1 small zucchini, grated
2 large carrots, grated
1/3 finely minced red onion
2 stalks celery, minced
2/3 cup minced red, yellow or green pepper
For the dressing:
1 pkt. GOOD SEASONS Italian Dressing Mix or flavor of choice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar
3 Tbsp. water

Steps:

Peel the cucumber. Slice in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Discard seeds and peel. Mince the cucumber.
Wash and grate the zucchini and carrots, peels on. Holding the vegetables vertically, instead of horizontally will allow you to get longer shreds.
Mince the onion, celery and bell pepper. I used both red and yellow bell pepper, for a great splash of color, but any shade of bell pepper will work beautifully.
Once all the vegetables are prepped, mix them together in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.
Use the GOOD SEASONS cruet to mix up the dressing/marinade. Add your favorite flavor of vinegar to the vinegar line in the cruet, (I used Pear Vinegar.), then add water to the water fill line. Add 2 Tablespoons of sugar and the GOOD SEASONS Dressing Packet you selected. Shake to combine. Now, add good quality olive oil to the oil fill line, on the cruet. Shake until the dressing has been thoroughly mixed, emulsifying the oil and vinegar, so they aren't separated. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture, cover and refrigerate, while you prep the rest of your meal.
Grill the OSCAR MAYER Selects Hot dogs.
While hot dogs are grilling cut the tops from each baguette, scoop out the centers and store the reserved bread in an airtight bag for future use as croutons or bread crumbs.
Brush the inside of each baguette "boat" with 1 Tablespoon of KRAFT Barbecue Sauce. Place a grilled hot dog inside each baguette.
Cut the KRAFT Singles slices in half and lay two halves, end-to-end to cover the hot dog. Cradle each prepared roll in foil and return to the grill. Cover the grill and leave the hot dogs just long enough for the cheese to melt.
Remove from grill, top with Veggie Slaw Relish and enjoy with your favorite summertime side dishes.
