MOM'S HOT DOG BOATS

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.

CRESCENT DOGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Slit hot dogs to within 1/2 inch of ends; insert 3 strips of cheese into each slit.
• Separate dough into triangles. Wrap dough triangle around each hot dog. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, cheese side up.
• Bake 12-15 min or until golden brown.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED STUFFED HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Prepare your grill for direct medium high heat.
• Mix together the ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the sauerkraut with the chopped onion, set aside. Slice open the hot dogs, down the center, lengthwise, forming a deep pocket in each, but not cutting all the way through. Coat the inside of each hot dog with the mustard ketchup mixture.
• Place a strip of cheese deep within the pocket of each hot dog. Top with sauerkraut and onions. Encapsulate the cheese at the ends with the sauerkraut mixture as well, so that no cheese is exposed (otherwise it will drip out when cooking).
• Wrap a strip of bacon around each stuffed hot dog, securing with toothpicks at each end. Make sure you wrap tight enough so that the stuffing stays in, but not so tight so that when the hot dog expands will cooking the bacon would tear.
• Coat your grill surface with vegetable oil so that the hot dogs don't stick. If you have a grill screen (a screen with smaller holes so that small pieces of whatever you're cooking don't fall through the grill), you can use it, just coat it with vegetable oil first and pre-heat for a couple of minutes. Place the stuffed hot dogs on the grill, stuffing side down. Grill for 2 minutes, until the bacon on that side is cooked, turn the hot dogs a quarter turn and grill for a couple more minutes. Continue to grill for a few minutes each on all sides until the bacon is cooked. Cover the grill in between turnings to help with the cooking.
• During the last minute of cooking, open up the hot dog buns and place them open-side down on the grill to lightly toast.
• Remove the hot dogs and buns from the grill. Remove the toothpicks from the hot dogs, place them in the buns and serve.

JALAPENO-STUFFED CURLY DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut the hot dogs lengthwise three-quarters of the way through, leaving the ends intact. Insert a jalapeno strip into each slit.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the baking mix, milk and butter. Fold in the cheese until the dough just comes together.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll the dough into a rectangle 1/8 inch thick. Cut into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
• Place one end of the hot dog on the dough strip and wrap around each hot dog, spiraling down the dog. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining dogs. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the dough. Serve immediately.

CHEESY BACON HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Split the hot dogs in half lengthwise, making a pocket but not cutting all the way through. Stuff each one with a string cheese. Starting at one end, wrap a slice of bacon around each stuffed hotdog, then place each on a square of foil and wrap up.
• Throw the wrapped hotdogs on a hot campfire grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the hot dogs heat through, the cheese melts and the bacon slices crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then unwrap.

BANANA PEPPERS STUFFED WITH VIENNA SAUSAGES (OR HOT DOGS)

Steps:

• Mix tomato juice, vinegar, sugar, ketchup and garlic.
• Cook 30 Minutes.
• Cut stem end off of banana peppers and remove seeds (use rubber gloves if making hot peppers).
• Stuff 1 Vienna sausage (or hot dog) into each pepper.
• Pack peppers tightly into pint or quart jars.
• Bring sauce to boiling.
• Pour over peppers.
• Wipe rims of jar with a clean cloth; place llids and screw on rings fingertip-tight.
• Set the jars on lids for 5 minutes and then set right-side up until lids pop.**.
• **This is an heirloom recipe that uses the inversion method, which is no longer recommended by the USDA/NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation) because it can affect the ability of the lid to form a good, secure seal to the jar. Current guidelines recommend pressure canning items containing meat for optimum shelf-stable storage safety, but at the very least the jars should be processed in a boiling water bath and left to cool, upright and undisturbed, on a cloth-protected counter for 24 hours. Check for seal and if the jar hasn't sealed, either re-process the jars within the 24 hours or refrigerate and use first.
