We don’t eat that many hot dogs on a regular basis. I’m usually more of a juicy hamburger gal, but lately we’ve had some hot dogs around & I had forgotten how good they can be. Publix does their 1 cent mystery coupon every week (do y’all in the SE do those? it’s fun to see what it will be each week!) & a few weeks ago it was Publix hot dogs, so we ate all those up for lunch in a few days. So, my hubby decided if we were going to eat hot dogs, they should be good hot dogs, so he picked up some Hebrew National all beef ones & I got some wheat hot dog buns & we were in business. I like to have quick things around to fix for dinner on the weekends, especially now that I’m working, so hot dogs it is on a Friday night. The George Foreman grill comes in handy too. I love to use this for panini sandwiches also.
Growing up, my mama fixed us hot dogs quite often & made this delicious concoction of mayo, mustard, ketchup, chopped onions & dill pickles. Stir all that together & you’ve got yourself some good ‘ole hot dog sauce. I’ve always been partial to how my mom made it, so I do the same thing. Makes for some good tasting weenies!
A side of roasted red potatoes with fresh rosemary & it’s a meal! Quick & easy. I know hot dogs aren’t really healthy, but I guess there are worse things out there & sometimes they just taste good. In fact, we’re having this again tonight! Do y’all have a hard time thinking up new things for dinner? We get in a rut & tend to eat the same things every week. Of course, I have to fix things that are pretty quick now that I’m working again & the crock pot is my new best friend. Hard to fit it all in, huh?
Thanks, Mom, for the hot dog memories! What’s summer without a few hot dogs?
Friday Night Hot Dogs
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I’m totally making Hebrew National dawgs on the grill tonight – and that sauce looks so good I can’t stand it.
LOVE your meal ideas!
Amy
wow…and I’m not even a Hot Dog Lovin’ Gal…but those look sooooo good 🙂
Well I know what we are having for dinner tonight….
I love your mother’s idea of mixing everything up together. Gonna try that tonight also!
Fran
I love hot dogs! We use chicken dogs now to cut down on the fat and calories. Top mine with mustard and sauerkraut. Or cole slaw. Yum!
Oh, yes, we must fit in one last summer BBQ with my favorite Hebrew Nationals. What is summer without a few hot dogs?!
Have a great weekend, Rhonda!
I just gained 10 pounds looking at the pictures. Um Um good!!
Girl you make everything you touch look good!We love hotdogs around my house too. Never heard of that brand,but look yummy even if it is still early. LOL thanks again. Your a special lady. I always look forward to visiting you.
Love those!!
I buy the same hot dogs only the reduced fat ones. I am going to try that sauce. It looks really good.
OK, now I’m hungry!
Rosemary
I’m not even hungry, and you’re making me hungry!!
Your hot dogs look yummy, Rhoda!
Here’s an easy Crock Pot meal for you: Slice an onion and put it in the bottom of a Crock Pot. Then cut a big round steak into 4 or 5 pieces. Salt and pepper it and then dump in one or two small cans of tomato sauce, depending on how much gravy you’d like to have. This is simple and the gravy is delish on mashed potatoes. As a working woman too, I cheat and use instant mashed potatoes during the week.
Looks like a traditional summertime southern dinner 🙂
Okay – that looks way better than the plain-Jane hotdogs that I am used to!!
When Don and I lived in Birmingham, he loved a good ‘ole Sneaky Pete’s hotdog. That was in college days. But, he still likes to grill hot dogs every once in a while. I’ll have to make him some sauce like that. Thanks.
Sounds good! Even better followed by a trip to Bruster’s. 😉
Well, we are heading to the lake house tonight, and before we head out it is hot dogs for us too! My two children love them, of course! Hubby won’t be too happy, but I will prepare his with saurkraut, which will make them more bearable for him!
I do love a good hot dog!
Those look great! In fact, we are also having hotdogs for dinner tonight! It’s too hot to cook these days. I am going to copy your topping. I can’t have raw onions because I am allergic, but the others will love it! Maybe I’ll sweat the onions so I can have some too! 🙂
Hot dogs! Sometimes I get a hankerin for hot dogs & kraut. I like my dogs boiled & plump. Yours look good & the sauce I would love.
I love hot dogs. I read a survey online about which was the #1 hotdog and Hebrew National won. I went right out and bought some. They are delicious. I like them with mustard and either relish or sauerkraut. I use my crockpot fairly often. I put a piece of onion (or not) in the bottom, add a chuck or rump roast and a half can of consomme or beef broth, cook it overnight until noon and voila, delicieux. You can leave it on warm until dinner.
I like mine with a little slaw… I can’t remember the last time I had a slaw dog.
You have flung a cravin on me!
Rhoda, I am so sorry I keep writing Rhonda! I know someone else named RhoNda and I just automatically type that. I do apologize! 🙂 I hope I won’t do it again, but out of habit, an N might slip in now and then!
Have a great weekend, Rhoda!
