Have you ever gone to Costco and bought a huge pack of hot dogs for a BBQ but didn’t end up finishing even one pack of them? This happened to my husband and I. We bought 30+ hot dogs for a birthday party, only to find that we probably used ten hot dogs. Soon after, I went on a trip to Ireland, and while I was gone, my husband ate Hot Dogs every day. Let’s just say he didn’t feel his best self when I came home. Instead of just eating your leftover hot dogs from the summer the same old way, here are some fantastic and creative ways to incorporate them into your cooking.
