Hotdogs with a Twist

From , former About.com Guide

For a change, try these hotdogs with mashed potatoes.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 hotdogs
  • Instant mashed potatoes
  • American Cheese (4 slices)

Preparation:

Make the mashed potatoes as directed on the box. Make it for the family of 4.

Split the hotdogs down the center but not totally through; just so that they have enough room to stuff them. Take the mashed potatoes and put them in the slit you made covering the dog. Top with half a slice of cheese and bake at 350 until cheese melts; about 10 minutes!

Throw some veggies and another side item like pork and beans and dinner is done! This is the fast way to get out of the kitchen. Plus talk about frugal! - Debbie
