Like just about the entire world I’m getting ready for hungry guests on Super Sunday! But, I want to watch the game too! So I needed an easy recipe that will feed the whole gang. How about a hot dog buffet. Other than very basic cooking skills, all you have to worry about is deciding how many dogs and toppings you will need to feed your guests. And, what the heck, I’ll throw in a super easy salad recipe to balance out your table.
EASY RECIPE
Ingredients:
FOR HOT DOGS:
All beef franks (I used Nathan’s Bigger Than The Bun)
Polish Sausages
15 oz can No Beans Chili (or more)

Sweet Relish
Kosher Dill Spears
Jalapeno Pepper slices (jar)
Yellow Mustard
Preparation:
Prepare buffet style bowls with your toppings: chopped onions, sweet relish, pickle spears, jalapeno pepper, grated cheese, tomato slices, cover and refrigerate.
When the guests start to get hungry BBQ or boil the polish sausages per package instruction, and toward the end add the all beef hot dogs.
Heat the chili, peal and slice the avocado, place both in bowls and put in the buffet line along with the other toppings stored in the refrigerator.
