Lunch Box Hot Hot Dogs Recipes

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and 1/3 cup onion in a large skillet over medium heat, until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, and return the skillet to the stove.
• Stir tomato sauce and ketchup into the ground beef mixture. Add chili powder, vinegar, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. If sauce gets too thick, add water to thin it out.
• Meanwhile steam or simmer hot dogs in hot water until hot.
• Assemble hot dogs: Place a hot dog in a bun and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining onions and drizzle with yellow mustard.

Steps:

• Prepare your child's lunch box by packing the hot dog bun, ketchup, mustard and Cheddar cheese.
• Preheat your child's insulated beverage container by filling with boiling water. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
• I put the kettle on when I get up and let it heat while the kids get ready for school. Right before they leave, dump out that water and replace with more boiling water. The preheating keeps it hot for a longer time.
• Place a hot dog into the water and close the lid.
• When your child is ready for lunch, they can take the hot hot dog out of the container and place it on the bun. Top with ketchup, mustard and cheese to make a hot lunch from home.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Stir the hot dogs, Cheddar cheese, relish, ketchup, mustard, and onion together in a bowl; spoon into the hot dog buns. Wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
