It’s week 2 of the Meal Maker Challenge! This week we were asked to feature Hebrew National Hot Dogs in our recipe.

I searched and searched for a unique recipe to bring to you but I mean realistically what all can you do with a dog? Don’t get me wrong, there were some very creative dishes out there just none I or my family would digest. I guess I should’ve mentioned we are not hot dog people.

I found the following recipe and knew this would go over well with the crew. Simple in appearance but busting with flavor!
