hot
dogs
Mustard
Catsup
Use a semi-thawed hot dog, which is easier
to cut. With a knife, make a straight
horizontal slit about 1" from the top. On
both sides of the hot dog, make a slit
upward so the hot dog looks like it has 2
arms. From the bottom of the hot dog, make
a 1" slit upwards, to make 2 legs. Broil
in the oven. As the frank cooks, the
"arms" and "legs" will curl out a bit,
making it look more like a person. When
done, remove from oven and decorate with
mustard and catsup.
