This hot dog post is dedicated to my dad because it was his idea. He has been talking about Pigs In A Sleeping bag for a few years now. This was a great idea and we will be remembering it for future.
You need: hot dogs (duh!), all your hot dog toppings and some bread. The bread is important. You need a lite bread, not a heavy dense one.
 |
| What you need. |
While the grill is heating up, cut hot dog holes in the end of the bread. We found a fillet knife works great for this. (Just be careful of the end poking out the back of the bread.)

You need to cut out the length of the hot dog and as wide. We actually cut a little deeper than the hot dog.

The cut outs make great dog treats for your "helpers."

| The Bun Guts |
Grill the hot dogs to your desired doneness.
 |
| Cooking The Pigs |
If you want onion in the sleeping bag, cut them in slices instead of chopping them because they will slide in easier.

Squirt in your condiments. Don't try to get the condiments done to the bottom yet, the hot dog will take care of this later.
 |
| Adding The Condiments |
Carefully slide the hot dog into the bread. You can add more condiments to the end if you want to.

These were really good! The condiments didn't drip out and make a huge mess all over the place and we found some nice fluffy rolls that worked great. They absorbed the condiments enough but also let some of the condiments slide with the hot dogs. That way the condiments were evenly dispersed through the bun.

My husband added onion and sliced cheese to his. Next time we may have to get some spray cheese. That would have been easier to put in.

These would have been great for chili, too. For Chili it would be a good ideas to take out more of the inside of the bread to make room for chili.
There is one more Hot Dog Day post and I think it is my favorite.
