Indoor Hotdogs

Ingredients

  • Buns
  • Hot dogs (count on several of the adults eating one, too.)
  • Ketchup and mustard
  • Other toppings as needed--cheese, relish, canned french fried onions, etc.

Instructions

  • First remove the buns from the plastic bag, do not separate, and wrap the whole batch in foil.  Preheat the broiler. 
  • Put the hotdogs on a sheet pan and run them under the hot broiler for a few minutes.  Leave the oven door cracked.  (This is important.)  Shake the pan a time or two during cooking so that they roll around.  You can get some black marks on a couple of sides this way so the hotdogs sort of look like you grilled them, and they taste great.  It only takes a few minutes, but don’t forget to leave the oven door open a bit.  You don’t want to accidentally bake them--they get a weird texture and sometimes burst that way. 
  • You can put the wrapped buns in the oven on the bottom rack at the same time.  You just want them warm.
  • Put a hotdog on each bun and arrange on a platter.  Let everyone accessorize as they like.
