Slaw Dogs, Sweet and Tangy Potatoes and Oreo Truffles...enjoy:)

SLAW DOGS
SWEET & TANGY POTATOES
OREO TRUFFLES

2/3 cup ketchup
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup Coke (you don’t want to use diet)
½ cup onion, chopped fine
8 Kielbasa sausages or 8 Brats
Hot dog buns
In a skillet, stir in ketchup and next 3 ingredients.  Simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.  Add the sausages, and let them cook in the sauce for at least 15 minutes.  Place sausage on a bun and add a generous amount of the sauce and top with the slaw.
SLAW
8-ounce container sour cream
2 T. sugar
2 T. white vinegar
1 t. celery seeds
1 t. salt
1/8 t. ground cumin
10-ounce package of shredded cabbage
Mix all ingredients well, adding the cabbage last and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.  Overnight is best!
SWEET & TANGY POTATOES
3 1b. bag small red potatoes washed and sliced (I leave the skin on)
½ cup each of chopped red onion and chopped celery
1 (3-ounce) bag bacon bits
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup white vinegar
Place the potatoes in a large pot of water and bring to a boil.  Once they start boiling, reduce heat to medium high and boil for 8 minutes.  Drain the potatoes well and place them in a 13x9x2 baking dish.  Top with the celery, red onion and bacon.  Mix the oil, sugar and vinegar together and microwave this mixture for about 1-½ minutes.  Stir well and pour evenly over the potatoes.  Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
OREO TRUFFLES
2 (8-ounce) packages of mini Oreos
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese (I like to set it out for about 3 hours so that it’s room temperature)
1 container of Baker’s chocolate (the kind you can dip strawberries in)
1 container of Baker’s white chocolate or almond bark
Place the Oreo cookies in a large ziplock bag and crush well.  Mix the cookies with the cream cheese and roll into balls.  Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Place them in the refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes.  Melt the chocolate in the microwave according to the package directions.  Dip each Oreo ball into the chocolate and place back on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Warning:  these are addictive!

  1. here is another slaw dog recipe.
    Ingredients
    1 (16-ounce) package coleslaw mix

    2/3 cup mayo
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    Chili
    1 pound lean ground beef
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    3 tablespoons tomato paste
    1 cup water
    1/4 cup ketchup
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon sugar

    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    1/2 teaspoon salt
    Hot Dogs
    1 package hot dogs
    1 package hot dog buns
    mustard
    Instructions
    In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Refrigerate until needed.
    In a large nonstick pan cook the ground beef and onion until ground beef is no longer pink. Crumble the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Spoon off any excess fat/liquid.
    Add remaining chili ingredients and cook for about 20 minutes. If chili gets too thick, you can add more water. Let cool slightly and place in a food processor. Pulse 4 to 5 times to finely ground the beef. (Note: This is optional.)
    Heat grill and grill hot dogs until grill marks formon all sides.
    To serve, place hot dogs in buns. Top with mustard, chili, and slaw.
