1 pack hot dogs (any kind always buy on sale) $1.00
4 slices of cheese slices (buy in bulk or sale) $0.50
½ box instant cheddar mashed potatoes ($0.99 cent store) $0.50
1/8 giant can of corn (from Costco) $0.75
1/8 giant can of pears (from Costco) $0.75
Total $3.50
This is one of my favorites!
Preheat oven to 350.
While oven is heating take cook instant potatoes based on box directions.
While water/milk is heating for mashed potatoes take each hot dog and slice it almost in half long ways (it should be a little attached so it can be opened like a book).
Open each hot dog and lay it flat with cut side facing up on a cookie sheet.
Fold each slice of cheese in half so you will have 8 rectangles.
When mashed potatoes are finished spoon 2-3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes onto each hot dog.
Optional: Top each hot dog with 2-3 tablespoons of corn (I like mine like this, but if you don’t you can serve your veggie on the side). You can also add some green onion or grilled onion to them for a little kick - not included in price above.
Place one rectangle slice of cheese on each hot dog (this will hold corn in place too).
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until mashed potatoes look very lightly toasted.
Serve with Fruit and/or Veggies!
Note: For canned fruits and veggies we buy a giant can from Costco that lasts approximately 8 meals each. Please contact me if you have questions about how to get the prices mentioned above.
