Here is another fast food recipe for you to make at home, you can make this in about the same time as waiting in a line at a drive thru... I use to have a hot dog cart in Oak Park, Illinois. I had a real steam table, but this recipe shows you how to turn a sauce pan into one by only using a little water and a lid. Buy a good quality hot dog of which ever type of meats you choose. I like the skin on wieners. Enjoy!
