DIY Faux Corn Dogs

First, cook your hot dogs. A pat of butter always makes everything tastier.

While the dogs are cooking, prep your sliced bread (we used wheat) with a slice of American cheese.

When the dogs are cooked to perfection, place one on your prepped bread and roll. The hot dog should melt the cheese and allow the bread to stay into a roll.

Place back into the pan and toast all sides. Add another pat of butter if needed.

It should look like the above. It reminded me of a corn dog but with a wheaty taste and no stick. It had a crunch on the outside and was nice and soft on the inside, just like a corn dog.

Serve with a side of salad.

Don't forget your condiments! Twas delicious =)

Chili Cheese Dogs

Dogs are from Hilshire Farms polish hot dogs. Super yummy! Chili is leftover... needed another way to eat it. We made waaaaaaaaaaay too much chili for two people...

Add some fruit for a little balance of heart healthy goodness

Homemade hot dogs

 This is a picture of hamburgers. But it's exactly the same meat used to make our hot dogs. It's basically 80% lean ground beef, salt, garlic powder, taco seasoning and 1 egg all mushed together. For hot dogs, roll'em up. 

 The hot dogs and hamburgers were cooked in an iron skillet. Once cooked, they rested on the above rack to cool off a bit until their buns were toasted and ready for snuggling.

This is the end result. Yumyum in my tumtum!
