Fried Hot Dog Sliders is my celebratory recipe
Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas? The hubs is a bit of a hot dog nut. He will vote to have hot dogs just about any time. So it’s fair to say that we have tried them in all different ways & have narrowed it down to just a handful of the best brands. Yes we take hot dogs fairly seriously in this house despite their fun nature. So I really couldn’t resist taking advantage of National Hot Dog Day & celebrating. So today not only am I sharing my new favorite way to eat them- but a bunch of my friends are sharing either their recipes with hot dogs or recipes that go great with them. 🙂

Do you have plans for dinner tonight?? Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas?
Well if not- I have the easiest enchilada recipe that you can whip up & your family will rave over!!! You know I am all about making things easy in the kitchen. I do best when it comes to things that are not so complicated – at least when it comes to dinner. I have a short attention span for things that are not sweets- so dishes like this make me happy.
This recipe will make 20 enchiladas – which with the way my kids eat, is barely enough.
You could half the recipe if you don’t need that many.
This is something we serve for guests & when we have to bring something for pot luck night.
