We like hot dogs around here. I know, I know. They are not exactly healthy. But for an easy dinner night cooking up Pigs in a Blanket, or just on buns, incorporated into a batch of scrambled eggs, or wrapped diagonally on a piece of bread for a quick lunch snack...
They're just good eats.
I like to buy the Bar-S 3-pound family pack, which has 24 hot dogs, and we keep 8 up, and freeze the other 16 in two packs of 8.
It's not that expensive. It works out to be about $1.67 per pound at $5 per pack, which is the current price at Ruler. They went up a little bit. They used to be $4.89, so the next time I am at Walmart I will do a price check.
But I bought some on Tuesday and tonight we are packaging them up to be frozen.
When I have them for a lunch snack, I like to just put them into the microwave for about 30 or 40 seconds, or just until they split.
How do you like your hot dogs?

George used to eat them with mustard. But now, I cut them up and serve them plain.

@porwest I have to heat mine up, too. George doesn't like cold, anything.

@kaylachan I can eat cold leftovers of certain foods like pizza, brats, Italian sausages, even meatloaf. But most things I do heat up.

Ketchup and onions is my fave, but I will eat them any way. Plain, with mustard, mustard and onions or relish..etc. I have some Bar S in the fridge.

@porwest Oh with sauerkraut too .something that probably doesn't appeal to most.

@snowy22315 I love sauerkraut. I can put it on hot dogs, on brats, on Italians, I love pork and kraut...it's just good eats. It might be the German in me. Either way.

Yup, I get that hot dog pack and then divide it up and freeze some hot dogs, I like them with baked beans or hot dog chili sauce, or sauerkraut, Never can go wrong with a hot dog,

@porwest I carefully look through all Walmart has to offer and then decide which are the right prices for me,

I only eat beef or veal franks. We usually buy Black Bear (I think is the name) beef franks. They are expensive so only get them when they are on sale. I’ve never seen veal franks at the supermarket but our Russian store has them so we get them sometimes. Gotta watch out for the casing on franks though. Sometimes it’s hog casing so can’t eat those.

Charred on the grill is my favorite. With ketchup on a toasted bun. It's something else I can no longer have. I bought 6 corn dogs which I will eat; and then I shouldn't have any more.
