| Polynesian Hot Dogs |
Cheap, cheerful and goes together in no time. Healthy it ain’t, but tasty it is and ready in under 30 minutes.
This was one of the month’s projects for All Recipes.All Recipes used to feature recipes from a well-known cooking magazine. Since they were bought out recently by a major magazine syndicate, all the material had to be removed as the agreement terminated apparently with the buy-out.
Anyway, many recipes were popular so they asked we AllStars to develop some new ones using the same key ingredients as the original recipes.
I happened to have all the ingredients for this one. Have to be honest–the big package of hot dogs I originally bought for my dogs as treats! I don’t generally like hot dogs for a dinner, but I have to say, the main ingredients in the list intrigued me.
The results were surprisingly delicious! Hot dogs really sing in this sweet and sour Polynesian sauce I developed. It’s cheap and cheerful and good enough to serve company. In fact, this would make a PERFECT buffet dish, and it’s as easy as 1-2-3.
Perfect pan for this:
