Recipe of the Week Hot Dog Stew

in the early morning on Sunday, the 25th of March 2007 by Chad

I know, you’d never admit to actually eating it… but it is one of the guilty pleasures. Filling and tasty, and very inexpensive.

1 Pack of Hot Dogs, each one sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
Big handful or three of onion and green (orange and/or red) peppers, sliced. I use the bag of frozen stuff all pre-sliced.
Big can of tomato sauce
Small can of tomato paste
Cooked noodles or rice

Throw onions and peppers into a sauce pan over medium heat for a few minutes, until soft. I think they call it a “sweat” if you want the official term.

Add hot dogs, stir a bit until the pieces are slightly browned.

Add the tomato sauce and paste, then add water while stirring until its about the right consistency for you, I usually go for a thick soup. Turn down the heat and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Serve over noodles, rice, or nothing.

If you make this with more water, you can add the pasta right to the stew while cooking.
