I was hosting a small party recently with several kids attending. We couldn’t agree on pizza or hot dogs so I made them some delicious Pizza Hot Dogs!
I think this is a great recipe for when you are having a bunch of kids over. Quick and easy to make!
Cooking Hot Dogs
I’m sure most of you don’t bother with this but to ensure that your Hot Dog is properly cooked, the internal temperature should be at least 140°F. Easily checked with a digital thermometer.
As far as how you cook your hot dogs, that’s up to you. You can boil them, fry them or even make them this way Air Fryer Hot Dogs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these awesome hot dogs with potato chips, french fries, baked beans or even some coleslaw. You might want to serve it with a little more pizza sauce for those who like it saucy!
