I know I should be ashamed of this, but I'm not. Some times you just need that comfort food that you ate as a kid.
I got the craving for this. First I had to go to the store to buy some horseradish mustard. That's what makes this dish for me. For those not familiar with this, it's nothing fancy, a generic brown mustard with a little horseradish.
We had been to Costco and bought cheap hot dogs. There were four one pound packs, 8 dogs to a pack. I used a whole pack (for three of us). I dumped the hot dogs into an 8" by 8" metal pan. Next I cut up the cheese to stuff them. Lastly I took 4 pieces of bacon and cut them in half to make 8. This left them about the same length as the hot dogs. I precooked the bacon in the microwave until it was fairly limp. I heated the oven. Then I cut slits in the hot dogs. The slits didn't go to the ends, or all the way through. I stuffed cheese into the slits. I then laid a piece of bacon on top of each hot dog. I stuck a toothpick through each end of the bacon to secure it to the hot dog. Otherwise the bacon twists off as it cooks. Into the oven until the bacon gets a little crisp, maybe 20 minutes.
I served this with fried potatoes and a few grape tomatoes.

On the other end of the hot dog spectrum, we had grilled Hebrew National 97% fat free all beef hot dogs, along with a mixture of brown mustard, onion, and relish, and a side of slow-fried sauerkraut. Pretty tasty for a low-fat meal.
I've been lurking around here for a while and appreciate the varied ideas shared.
Currently my husband and I are sailing the West Coast of Mexico and creative cooking is essential. A few nights ago a friend came over for a visit and cocktail hour quickly turned into the dinner hour. None of us wanted to disturb the conversation by going to a restaurant but I knew we didn't have much in the galley to serve our guest. Not to worry sez me hubbin' (aka ships cook) and he went to work while Bonnie and I continued our conversation while watching the sunset on deck.
When dinner was served we enjoyed a hearty fair of extra large hot dogs (made out of who knows what) a creamy blend of four cheese pasta (mix from a bag) and canned peas. Served with candle light the flavor was great and the conversation was memorable.

Not going to shame you... I happen to like the occasional Bryan corn dog; you can buy them frozen and nuke them. No mustard, please. It's a shame, really 🙂 This occurs about once a year.

Buns for the dogs?
Dunno about Dan, but I rarely eat hot dogs on buns, except for chili dogs which I eat with knife and fork. I find hot dogs with all their toppings far too messy to pick up.

I love hot dogs now and then. I've got a grill pan which makes those nice crusty marks on them. I like mine with chopped onion and plain old yellow mustard. I also like french fries with mine.

To add a twist to this, in the UK, Tesco, and ASDA/Walmart sell vegetarian dogs in the frozen and fresh veggie ready meals sections.
They are real good. I'm not a veggie, but I actually prefer them to frozen meat hotdogs. I usually chop them and add them to cooked pasta with a nice cherry tomato sauce, or even gently warm them, chop them up and add to boiled macaroni with a garlic and herb softcheese to make a warm pasta salad. -- Carl Robson Car PC Build starts again. http://smallr.com/rz Homepage: http://www.bouncing-czechs.com

Oh yeah! No boiled hot dogs for me! Grilled (inside in a grill pan or outside on a grill). Every once in a while, hot dogs sure hit the spot!

Why be ashamed? Food does not have to be fancy or expensive to be good. I do something similar once in a while - hot dogs on buns with kraut and mustard, memories of NY City.
But why use cheap hot dogs? Perhaps they are part of your memories. Try Boars Head or Dietz & Watson for a real treat.

What I sometimes do is take two of those 97% fat free Hebrew national hot dogs and slice them up, then throw them in a hot pan and let them sizzle for a couple of minutes, then I throw in a small can of baked beans and stir and let it simmer until its nice and bubbly hot! Its a reasonably healthy, low fat dinner that one can make in a hurry. The 97% fat free hot dogs taste very good too.

Thanks, Stan. I'll try that.

I'm curious, why do you like Boars Head dogs? They are so puny you must use two of them per bun. Not to mention they cost about 3 times what they out to! I'd rather get a Hebrew National.
