Old Fashioned Luncheonette Hot Dog Recipes

CREAM CHEESE HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, and cook slowly until the onions have softened and turned deep brown, about 15 minutes. Warm the cream cheese over low heat in a small skillet until very soft.
• Grill hot dogs until well browned. Lightly grill hot dog buns on both sides.
• To assemble cheese dogs, spread warm cream cheese on toasted hot dog bun, add hot dog or sausage, top with onions, mustard and sauerkraut, if desired.

MY BACON AND CHEESE HOT DOGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°; grab a large ungreased baking sheet or a couple of ungreased small ones.
• Unroll the crescent rolls into their 8 sections.
• For each section on the shortest end (opposite the point/tip), lay down 1/2 slice of cheese.
• Top cheese with 1/2 slice of bacon; Top bacon with uncooked hot dog.
• Roll everything up, starting with the short end just as if you were doing just a crescent roll, making sure the /tip/ is tucked underneath when you place it on your baking sheet(s).
• Place 4 wrapped dogs on each of the UNgreased small sheets OR all 8 dogs on the UNgreased large sheet.
• There should be a little space around each hot dog to allow the crescent roll to poof a little; the dogs should NOT be touching each other.
• Place in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown; Serve hot.
• NOTE: please don't use fat free cheese, it really doesn't melt well and the flavour is too plastic, LOL!
