How to Make Hot Dog Bake

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 1 pound hot dogs, sliced, to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the hot dog mixture with 2 cups of mashed potatoes (about 2-3 medium potatoes).
  5. Stir in 1 cup sauerkraut, drained, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, and a pinch of black pepper.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 1-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with ½ cup bread crumbs and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine.
  7. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown.
