Cut them into coins about 1/4" thick and you'll have a dog in every bite. Yum!

It's a guilty pleasure around my house. Good old Kraft Mac'n'Cheese in the blue box, but with a handful of grated cheddar tossed in during the mixing and some onions sauteed in butter with the hot dog coins.

I also make scratch Mac and Cheese, but sometimes it's the blue box for me.
