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:
- 1. Cook Macaroni as directed on the box. Set timer for 2 minutes less than directed on the package.
- 2. Cut Hot dogs into wheels. When timer goes off for pasta, add hot dog slices and cook for 2 more minutes.
- 3. Mix as directed on the box. When pasta and dogs are cheesy, add peas, stir a couple times and let set 5 minutes to warm the peas. Serve and enjoy. That meal costs $2.50 to feed up to 6 people in 10 minutes!!!
Tips:
- Choose the right macaroni noodles. Elbow macaroni is the classic choice, but you can also use shells, penne, or any other short pasta shape.
- Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that the pasta should be tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
- Use good quality hot dogs. All-beef hot dogs are the best choice, but you can also use turkey or chicken hot dogs if you prefer.
- Slice the hot dogs into thin pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Use a variety of cheeses. Cheddar cheese is the classic choice, but you can also use mozzarella, Parmesan, or any other type of cheese that you like.
- Don't overcook the macaroni and hot dogs. The macaroni should be tender but still slightly firm, and the hot dogs should be cooked through but not overcooked.
- Serve the macaroni and hot dogs immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
