copy cat Dirty John's Hot Dogs (bunless of course)


When I lived in upstate NY state, there was a place called Dirty John's Hot Dogs. They were obviously famous for their hot dogs. Long thin hot dogs, in a bun, served on a plate with a meat sauce, topped with onions and mustard. DELICIOUS!!

So, one day in PA (no longer there - in NC now!), I thought that the internet had to have a recipe for this amazing meat sauce.... and I was right!! However, I always have to change it up a bit to suit my tastes. And it is a winner, my husband loves it!

Cheese Taco Shells

Image
Ya'll, this recipe is so easy and fun! I was so excited to have 'tacos' again! Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make round piles/areas (I spread it out a little, but don't leave any holes) of shredded cheese. Bake at 350* for 5-10 min. Mine started to get brown around the edges and bubbly in the center. Pull from over and drape over the edge of a pan or wooden spoon or something to give it the taco shell shape. Let cool. Then fill! That's it! So easy! Enjoy!!
