In my case I think I would substitute the hot dogs for smoked sausage. That's only because I have an issue with hot dogs. lol I like the other ingredients.

I think my grandsons would probably like this....

Thanks for the recipe Peeps.

You're welcome Barb. A smoked kielbasa would probably taste good. Or did you mean another type?

Kielbasa or even pepperoni or both. lol

That looks like something to do while camping - one could use a bottle
of pre-made spag sauce. Me, I love hotdogs and am looking at doing a
beanie wienie recipe in the crock pot and doctor it up.
