Saucy Franks

One of my favorite recipes is, Saucy Franks. In no time at all, you can have a delicious meal on the table that your family will enjoy.  You can use beef hot dogs or any kind of hot dogs that you like best.

Ingredients

6 to 8 oz. uncooked noodles
2 Tbs. butter or margarine
1 lb.  hot dogs or frankfurters * See notes
1 onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed tomato soup
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. water
2 to 3 Tbs. vinegar
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 green pepper, chopped

Directions

Fill a pot with water. Add some salt to the water and bring the water to a boil.  Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside. 

Score the hot dogs/frankfurters in a corkscrew fashion.

Melt butter in a cast iron skillet. Add the hot dogs and onion. Cook until the hot dogs are browned on all sides and the onions are caramelized.

Stir in condensed tomato soup, brown sugar, water, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a bubble, then turn the heat down to a simmer.  Cover and cook for about 10 minutes.

Add green pepper.  Cook covered 5 minutes longer. Serve over hot cooked noodles.

Notes

We use beef hotdogs because we like those best. However, they are rather expensive on our budget anymore. So we usually use the cheaper hotdogs made with chicken, and pork.
