Ingredients
Instructions
- Place a frankfurter in the center of each slice of bread.
- Mix mayonnaise, chopped onion, pickle relish, and prepared mustard together.
- Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the mayonnaise mixture over each frankfurter.
- Secure each roll-up with a wooden pick.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Brush the roll-ups with melted margarine or butter.
- Bake uncovered in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven until hot and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider using different types of mustard or adding shredded cheese to the mayonnaise mixture. If you want a healthier option, substitute whole grain bread for white sandwich bread. You can also use turkey or veggie hot dogs for a lighter version. For a crunchier texture, add finely chopped bell peppers or celery to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these roll-ups as a fun appetizer at parties or as a quick weeknight dinner. They pair wonderfully with sides like Baked Soybeans or a fresh Salad Apple Ring for a balanced meal. For a complete spread, consider offering dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or even a zesty barbecue sauce to complement their flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Hot Dog Roll-Ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but the oven will keep the bread crispier.
