Frugal Fridays

For frugal Friday I am posting my recipe for hot dog casserole.
I purchase the turkey hot dogs in the biggest package I can find, but you can do what suits your family best, making allowances for your own tastes:-)
First I cut lengthwise all the hotdogs, but don't cut them all the way through. I then place them in casserole dish and put ketchup or tomato sauce in the center of them (in the sliced section). I them make a huge batch of mashed potatoes or use leftover ones. You can also use instant. I pour this over the top of the hot dogs making sure to cover thouroughly each and every one. This then gets baked at 400 for about 45 min- 1hour. After the cooking time is up I then place cheddar cheese on the top and pop it back in the oven with the oven off, but still hot. After about 10 minutes it is ready to be eaten. I also like to serve this with a cooked veggie of some form and home canned fruit. Very yummy!! This is a very filling casserole and can be used as leftovers for lunch or supper again as it warms up easily.
Try some hotdog casserole! Your gonna love it:-)
