MACARONI, CHEESE AND HOT DOGS
I always loved it when my mom would make macaroni, cheese and hot dogs when I was young. As I grew up, I found that I liked it to be cheesier than she made it. I have been making this recipe for years and most everyone who has tried it really likes it. It is easy to make and my kids really enjoy having it for lunch.

MACARONI AND HOT DOGS
Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Eva Smith. The printed version of this recipe makes me giggle because there is a typo where the hot dogs are called 'hot gods'. Eva didn't specify serving yield, so I am guessing.

Steps:
- Melt butter in Dutch oven.
- Cut hot dogs in half and then into small pieces.
- Simmer onion, pepper and hot dogs in butter for about 10 minutes or until brown.
- Sprinkle macaroni over top.
- Add salt, tomatoes and water.
- Cover; bring to boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 12 minutes).
- Stir in cheese and simmer until cheese melts.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your mac and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or experiment with different types of cheeses, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or fontina.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: Macaroni that is cooked too soft will become mushy in the mac and cheese. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. It helps to create a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Season the cheese sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Use hot dogs that you enjoy: There are many different types of hot dogs available, so choose ones that you think your family will like. You can use regular hot dogs, smoked hot dogs, or even kielbasa.
- Serve immediately: Mac and cheese is best served immediately after it is made. The cheese sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so it is important to serve it while it is still hot and creamy.
Conclusion:
Mac and cheese with hot dogs is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and creamy mac and cheese with hot dogs that your family will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
