Hot Dogs for Lunch
Lunch is usually not a cooked meal when camping, but you can prepare the big brother to pigs in a blanket with little hot dogs in a warm sleeping bag (made out of raw bread dough) when you need something warm on a rainy day.
Roll a hot dog in a small amount of bread dough (that’s been flattened so it’s about three times the size of the hot dog) and put it into a greased pan. You can add a slice of cheese to the hot dog roll if you like. Once the pan is full of the “sleeping bags”, seal it with foil so there’s a tight seal. Place over hot coals and cook about 45 minutes to an hour, or until brown and cooked all the way through.
