Aren’t these cute?
Top some mini hot dogs with macaroni and cheese from the classic blue box and you get these tasty little bites. What makes them special is the frozen bread dough rolls.
Mini Mac & Cheese Dogs
Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) frozen bread dough dinner rolls (12 count), thawed and soft enough to shape
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
12 beef hot dogs
1 package (7-1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese dinner mix
Directions:
1. Cut each roll in half then shape each half into a 3 inch long mini hot dog bun. Place 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets.
2. Cover buns with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F.
4. Bake buns 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

6. Bake crumbs for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once.
7. Cook hot dogs and macaroni and cheese according to package directions.

“Dandelion” is kind of big to serve with some mini dogs, but it is equally delicious. It’s new from LA-based singer Jesse Jo Stark.
