Last week, I read a post on Amanda's blog about a hot dog bar she set up for a get-together with friends. While not everyone loves hot dogs, I do from time to time, especially at a baseball game! And, while Amanda features five hot dogs, I knew the boys wouldn't be too interested, so Jeremy and I picked two. Here they are:
The Cuban:
We used sliced ham, provolone cheese, spicy mustard and Claussen pickles. It was so good!
The Steakhouse:
You can't even tell there is a hot dog on there, but we added cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and A1 steak sauce. A definite winner, too.
So, if you're craving a hot dog with a twist, these are two great options!
And, since it was cold yesterday, and I don't know how many more cold days we'll have this Winter, I made a batch of my cousin's green chili stew. There is just something about fresh Hatch green chili that makes this recipe incredible.
I was thinking about what to make for Fat Tuesday, and then I realized with this post that we might have a problem making every day a fat Tuesday :)
I love hotdogs … I just wish they weren't so processed or I would eat them a WHOLE lot more than I already do. :) Glad I stumbled upon your blog!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you tried and liked it! Sauteing the Steakhouse dog sounds even yummier! And your chili stew?? Looks delicious! Recipe, pls?
ReplyDeleteMy mom gave us a cookbook "The Ranch Cafe Cookbook" and everything calls for Hatch chiles, but they don't exist here in Illinois! What would be a good substitute?
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. If you can find this, this might be the closest thing: http://www.buenofoods.com/br_retail_products.html
