When I think of camping, I have visions of sitting around a campfire roasting hot dogs on a stick. But hot dogs can be the main ingredient in other recipes too. Want to try something different than a hot dog on a bun? Here are some recipes to consider.
Coney Islands - just grill or roast your hot dogs over the campfire, place them on a bun, and top with a dab of mustard, chili, cheese, and onions. Other favorite toppings include sauerkraut, relish, and catsup.
Spiders - here's a novel way to prepare hot dogs and the kids really like them. In preparing, you'll need a knife and some roasting forks or sticks. Cut the ends of each hot dog into quarters leaving about 1-1/2 to 2 inches in the middle uncut. You want to leave enough uncut to stick the fork in. Roast the dogs over the fire or hot coals in a grill. The "legs" will curl out as the hot dogs cook. You can also do them in the kitchen at home over a hot stove burner.
Shlagosh - you will need meat chili, potatoes, hot dogs and any other tasty foods. Pre-boil potatoes in a pot or just fry them in a pan. Heat chili in the fire and cook the hot dogs over the fire. Mix everything together in a bowl and eat up.
Tortilla Dogs - heat hot dogs and the tortillas too if desired. Place hot dog in tortilla, add condiments, roll and serve. Also good with chili.
Beanie Weenie Casserole - you'll need baked beans, hot dogs, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar and onion. Pour beans in a baking pan or iron skillet. Slice hotdogs into 1/4-inch pieces and add to beans. Dice onions and add to beans. Add mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar. Stir until everything is mixed and cook for about 30 minutes.
Sausage and Chicken Jambalaya - for this one, you need chicken pieces (bone in), sweet sausages, potatoes (washed and cubed), green peppers (seeds removed and cut up), onions, vegetable oil, salt and pepper to taste and Cajun type spice mix if desired. Combine the first five ingredients in a large foil roasting pan. Drizzle oil on top and toss together until coated. Add spices and toss again. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and place on a preheated grill or campfire grate (over hot coals, not flames). Cook for approx 50 - 60 minutes, stirring mixture several times. Check meat for doneness.
