Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • If you do not want to use aluminum foil,  you can skip using it. Clean-up is just much easier when you use it. 
  • When broiling the hog dogs, DO NOT put them under the direct flame. Place the pan vertically to the left of the flame (these directions may vary with the type of stove you have). 
  • To store: Place in a covered container and refrigerate. Eat within 3 days. Reheat in the oven to 375 degrees for 5 minutes. For the air fryer, place in the basket and reheat at 375 degrees for 3 minutes.
