Today is National Hot Dog Day. So to celebrate, we had a competition at our house. My husband and my step son each created a hot dog dish
First up is my Husband, he created a Mexican Hot Dog. He has a black bean salsa on the bottom topped with a hot dog wrapped in bacon and corn tortilla, deep fried.
Here is the recipe:
Second is the dish created by my step son, the Open Face Hot Dog Philly, it had a flat crescent roll on the bottom, and cream cheese mixture with bacon and jalapeno, the hot dog, sauteed pepper and onions, and topped with cheese sauce.

Here is the recipe:

Second is the dish created by my step son, the Open Face Hot Dog Philly, it had a flat crescent roll on the bottom, and cream cheese mixture with bacon and jalapeno, the hot dog, sauteed pepper and onions, and topped with cheese sauce.
Here is the recipe:
Open faced Philly Dog
1 pkg. hot dogs (your choice of brands)
1 tube crescent rolls
1 onion (cut in strips)
1 green pepper (cut in strips)
6 strips bacon (crumbled)
8 oz. cream cheese
1 batch cheese sauce (see recipe)
lay out crescent rolls flat on sheet tray and cook as instructed on package (do not roll dough). Split hot dogs in half (but not cutting completely through) grill hot dogs until done. In a saute pan saute cook bacon until crisp and remove and drain bacon, in same pan cook onions and pepper until tender. Place crescent roll on plate, smear with cream cheese, add grilled hot dog, add veggies, and ladle with cheese sauce. For extra kick add 1 small jalapeno to your sauteed veggies.
Cheese Sauce
2 Tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese
In a sauce pan melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth, add milk and cream, whisk until smooth and keep simmering until sauce thickens, add cheese and stir constantly until cheese is melted. Add the bacon crumbles for recipe above.
I HAD to pick a favorite, I went for my husband's dish, because you had me at deep fried.
Which one would you pick?
Hopped over from Miz Helen's Full Plate Thursday Linky Party! I think I would like the Open Face Hot Dog Philly. Philly's are my fav and then you add cream cheese and bacon? Oh yeah, that sounds so good:)
